converting string to short in java

this is what i have done:

public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException {


       short s= 0;
       String g = "1test";
try {
s = Short.parseShort(g);
//s = (short)Integer.parseInt(g.trim(), 16);
System.out.println(s);
} catch (NumberFormatException e){}
System.out.println("exception");

}

I need to print the value of s.

Thanks in advance,
Sid
