Assuming I have this string:
TEST = 'GAMES HELLO VAUXHALL RUNS=15 TESTED=3'
if the text 'RUNS=' exists in TEST, I want to extract the value 15 into a variable, nothing else from that string.

You can use re module:
import re
s = "GAMES HELLO VAUXHALL RUNS=15 TESTED=3"
m = re.search(r"RUNS=(\d+)", s)
if m:
print("RUN=... found! The value is", m.group(1))
Prints:
RUN=... found! The value is 15

Just split the line and check if one of the items starts with your desired string:
TEST = 'GAMES HELLO VAUXHALL RUNS=15 TESTED=3'
def extract(s: str):
for i in s.split():
if i.startswith("RUNS="):
return int(i.split("=")[1])
print(extract(TEST))
