The output of an extend script is not an integer - it's a string.
This string may contain a printable representation of an integer value,
but it's still a string.

No.

If you can tweak the script to return this integer value
as the return value of the script (i.e. "exit(276);" or similar),
then you can monitor it using nsExtendResult.
(Though I have a feeling this value may be limited to 8 bits,
i.e. 0-255).
