Pay no attention to the previous post, which only dealt with a single integer. 
Sloppy.
THIS old fashioned method works, though:
on mouseUpput offset("(",yourString) into startCharput offset(")", yourString) 
into endCharput random(999) into char (startChar + 1) to (endChar -1) of 
yourStringend mouseUp

If you’re certain that this is the only, or even the first, integer, a regular 
expression search and replace or [0-9]+  would  do the trick.
