How do I make values be recognized?

Question

I've been trying to make my Arduino read string to int and it keeps skipping the value, could someone please help

Answer 1

else if (lastnewClientmsg == "|STX|STATUS|1|ETX|") {
newClient.println("Choose type to dispense: 1. Milk 2. Yoghurt");
newClientMsg.replace("\n","");
newClientMsg.replace("| ","|");
Serial.println("PART 6 REPLACEMENT :" + newClientMsg + " and length is : " + newClientMsg.length());
Serial.println("we get" +newClientMsg+" and length is : " + newClientMsg.length());
if (newClientMsg == "DIESEL"){
newClientMsg.remove(0, 700);
newClient.println("Enter Amount to dispense Milk:");
int y = newClientMsg.toInt ();
digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // sets the digital pin 13 on
Serial.println("typehere value is:" + type_here);
delay(y); // waits for a second
digitalWrite(13, LOW); // sets the digital pin 12
Serial.println("we are the champions");
Serial.println("QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ :" + lastnewClientmsg + " and length is : " + lastnewClientmsg.length());
newClientMsg.remove(0, 700);
Serial.println("DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD :" + lastnewClientmsg + "and length is : " + lastnewClientmsg.length());
}

Answer 2

The delay y gets skipped
