Java cast Error in Scripting

Help this script throws an error when I enter the data CLE-158 but then does what I want. I can't see what is causing a casting error as the tag ToolID is a string.

print "before the read"
temp_tool_ID = system.tag.readBlocking(["[client]Build/TaskData/ToolID.Value"])[0].value
print "read toolID"
print temp_tool_ID
temp_tool_ID2 = temp_tool_ID.strip()
print "stripped ID"
print temp_tool_ID2
tool_ID_num = temp_tool_ID2[-3:]
print "last 3"
print tool_ID_num

That error appear to be happening outside your script. Show what else you have going on.

Your script is not implicated.

You've got a property of an integer type, and you've got an expression running that's returning your cle-158 string value. That value cannot be turned into an integer implicitly by the expression, so it's failing.
