I'm trying to implement a network card game and I need to parse a string and get the rank value as a u32. The string looks like this 

let response: String = "(6, Hearts)".to_string();

I've tried using:

let rank = response.chars().nth(1).unwrap() as u32;

with this I get a rank of 54 instead of 6 I think because it's returning a byte index instead of the actual value. I've also tried this:

let rank: u32;
response.chars()
        .find(|x| 
            if x.is_digit(10) {
                rank = x.to_digit(10).unwrap();
            }
        );
println!("rank {}", rank);

For this one I'm getting a mismatch type error on the closure

  • `let rank = response.chars().flat_map(|x| x.to_digit(10)).next().unwrap();` or `let rank = response.chars().nth(1).unwrap() as u32 - '0' as u32;` or `let rank: u32 = response[1..][..1].parse().unwrap();`, etc. – Shepmaster Jun 03 '18 at 02:24
  • I'd encourage you to re-read [*The Rust Programming Language*](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/second-edition/ch03-02-data-types.html) to refresh yourself on basic data types. In Rust, a single character and a string are related but distinct data types. – Shepmaster Jun 03 '18 at 02:35
