Personally, I would use an advanced command here, to read the value. You said it is on a web page? So you can use one of the "Get HTML Object" commands and use split to extract the value between "(" and items".

Alternatively, if you use "read from screen", you can change it to read Text:OCR, and again, by using split advanced commands, get the value you are looking for.

Just an FYI, the Read from Screen core action, when set to Number, will only return data when the entire field read has only numbers in it. If there are any symbols or A-Z characters, the result will be blank. Further to what Ayelet mentioned, if you use Internet Explorer you can also use the Text Native option which is 100% accurate, unlike OCR
