Question

I have a string like:

text-345-3535

The numbers can change.
How can I get the two numbers from it and store that into two variables?

Answer 1

var str = "text-345-3535"

var arr = str.split(/-/g).slice(1);

Try it out: http://jsfiddle.net/BZgUt/

This will give you an array with the last two number sets.

If you want them in separate variables add this.

var first = arr[0];
var second = arr[1];

EDIT:

Just for fun, here’s another way.

Try it out: http://jsfiddle.net/BZgUt/2/

var str = "text-345-3535",first,second;

str.replace(/(\d+)-(\d+)$/,function(str,p1,p2) {first = p1;second = p2});
