Get Number

I'm trying to create a proc that gets a number from a text variable.

proc/Get_Number(string)
    var/list/numbers = list("1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","11","12","13","14")
    var/K
    for(var/n in numbers)
        if(findtext(string,n))
            K = findtext(string,n)
    K = text2num(K)
    return K

mob/verb/testsd()
    var/x = "12REMOVEME"
    world << Get_Number(x)


When I use the verb, "1" is displayed to the world instead of 12.

Note: The reason the list of numbers go up to 14 is because I won't ever be using a number greater than 14.

I'm no genius but I believe you would want to use copytext.

var/Begin = findtext(string,n)
var/NewText = copytext(string,Begin,length(n))


Something like this.

Try reversing the list, and just returning the item in the list as a number.
