Question

I’m trying to grab post counts from a users on a forum.

if (td[i].innerHTML.match("Posts: (\d+)")) {
  postCount = RegExp.$1;
}

It works, but if a number is in the thousands, it only grabs the first number. How can this be adjusted to grab the entire number such as 1,000?

Answer 1

I have never seen this way of using regular expressions. But this should do it:

/Posts: (\d+(?:,\d+)?)/

This wouldn’t match 1,000,000 though, if you want to cover all cases, change ? to *:

/Posts: (\d+(?:,\d+)*)/
