Does the following snippet answer your question?
#!/usr/local/bin/php
<?php
$buff = "Next Week's Lotto: 123456";
if (preg_match("/Next Week's Lotto:\s*(\d+)/", $buff, $hit)) {
echo "Next week lottery:", $hit[1], "\n";
} else {
echo "You suck!\n";
}
?>
Of course, I make no claims that the next week's lottery numbers will be
"123456". No amount of regex massage will help you with that.
