Question

how can i get only the cheque number(AA12GH56) not the other texts, here is my code:

HTML:

<p>your cheque number is :AA12GH56 <br /> your bank credit balance is :32,999</p>

Javascript:

$(document).ready(function(){
  $('p').click(function(){
    var cheque_no=$(this).text();
  });
});

Either a regular expression or a precision .split is what you need. I’m a fan of the latter technique — what it loses in brevity it makes up in clarity.

var cheque_no=$(this).text().split(':')[1].split('your')[0];
cheque_no = $.trim(cheque_no); // remove whitespace
