Question

I need to take a string of text

var myText = $(this).text();

which looks something like this

<my text (10)>

and strip down all but numeric value. I tried this but failed:

var myNum = myText.match(/<.*\(|\)>/);

Help…

Answer 1

var myNum = myText.replace(/[^0-9]/g, "");

EDIT:

var myNum = myText.match(/\(([0-9]+)\)/)[1];
