Help with Java Strings

[ashkash]

I have strings in Java where each one is as follows: "Case Number XXX-XXX-XXX"
The "XXX-XXX-XXX" part is different for each string. I want to just extract the "XXX-XXX-XXX" portion of each string. I am assuming this is the third token in the string. What would be the best way of doing this? thanks.

If you know you want the substring starting at offset 12 (did I count correctly?), the simplest thing to do is use the String method substring: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/
