I'm not sure if you want a more dynamic solution for this, more context would help. But the following will parse the string down to just "2882649" as a string:

String str = "automation130214141113 (order # 2882649)";
String[] splitStr = str.split(" ");
String result = splitStr[3].substring(0, splitStr[3].length() - 1);

This is not the most elegant way to do this but you'll notice if you print result it will be the string "2882649".

String number = rawText.substring(s.indexOf("# ") + 1).substring(0, s.indexOf(")"));
System.out.println(number);
