Question

var exampleURL = '/example/url/345234/test/';
var numbersOnly = [?]

The /url/ and /test portions of the path will always be the same.

Note that I need the numbers between /url/ and /test. In the example URL above, the placeholder word example might be numbers too from time to time but in that case it shouldn’t be matched. Only the numbers between /url/ and /test.

Thanks!

var exampleURL = '/example/url/345234/test/';

// this will remove all non-numbers
var numbers = exampleURL.replace(/[\D]/g, '');

// or you can split the string and take only that 3rd bit
var numbers = exampleURL.split(/\//)[3];

// or match with a regex
var numbers = exampleURL.match(/\/(\d+)\/test\//)[1];
