Extract number from string in Ruby

There are many Ruby ways as per http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/125709

1. line.scan(/\d/).join('')
2. line.gsub(/[^0-9]/, '')
3. line.gsub(/[^\d]/, '')
4. line.tr("^0-9", '')
5. line.delete("^0-9")
6. line.split(/[^\d]/).join
7. line.gsub(/\D/, '')

Try each on you console.
