there is no way to retrieve partial text in selenium webdriver.

Instead, you access the complete text of an Web Element using element.getText() in Java or element.text in python and store it as a String variable.

Then you process the string to retrieve the substring you want.

In all programming languages, there are many ways to achieve it. some of them are substring method, regular expression.

First, get your text in your way.

String successMessage = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("your selector")).getText(); // use locator of your wish

Now, use replace all non-digit from your string as follows-

String orderNumber = successMessage.replaceAll("\\D+", ""); // this replaces all non-digits from your previous string
