If you add thirty to ten, then result of fifty three is incorrect. This is my example string. my end result should look something like this:
If you add thirty to ten, then result of fifty 3 is incorrect. (I only care about the numbers 0-9)

parsing a String to an Integer: Integer.parseInt(yourString)
parsing an Integer to a String: String.valueOf(myInteger)

If i apply that to my entire string how can I assure that 0-9 are the only numbers effected?

#

For example here:
Only thirty people injured in DC last week and two died
I need the result of
Only thirty people injured in DC last week and 2 died

#

I am having many different strings passed in through a thread.

#

this is kinda where im at now

oh that's what you want. Yeah mine is not going to help you with that. I would use a Map of some sorts to store the mappings, for each String a integer value and you can use String#replace to replace these words.

    public void run(String record)
    {
        try 
        {
            String recordDiscover = record.replace("*",""); // remove *
            recordDiscover = recordDiscover.trim();

            List<String> allowedStrings = Arrays.asList("zero","one","two","three","four","five","six","seven","eight","nine");
        
    
            
            System.out.println("Discover - Section 3 is: " + recordDiscover + " - passwd is: " + finalResult );
            Thread.sleep(1000);
        }
        catch (Exception e) 
        {
            System.out.println("Exception is caught");
        }
    }
}```

yeah you could use that

Is there anyway that I can read through each token in the string and if a word is recognized it could be changed?

Combination out of StringTokenizer and StringBuilder would get you the result you need. But just using the replace method defined in String should get your expected results.
