I want to take a string that looks like this:
aaa123bbb456
and retrieve the number that comes right after "aaa", wherever "aaa" is and however long the number might be (123456, 12, etc.).
Can I rely on ToInt() (i.e., ToInt(10)) to always parse
"bbb" as 0
"bbb4" as 0
"123b" as 123
"123bbb456" as 123
etc.
so that I can just ToInt() whatever is to the right of "aaa" without checking where the consecutive numerals end?
Can I always rely on ToInt() to work like this?

Re: Can I always rely on ToInt() to work like this?
Most of the time, yes, but beware of a few special cases:
0x???? gets interpreted as hex number.
124e45 may get converted to a float first. It shouldn't when using toInt, but I'd be careful with that.
