Question

What will be the best way using javascript regular expression to get numbers out of text..
e.g…. I have “$4,320 text/followme” and I want to get 4320 out of this. However I want to avoid numbers after first occourance of an alphabet or any non alphabet other than a comma ‘,’

so that if i have $4,320 t234ext/followme it will still return me 4320.
The input will always have $ sign at the beginning

so the regular expression should return

 $4,320 text/followme          returns  4320
 $4,320 t3444ext/followme      return   4320
 $4,320 /followme              return   4320
 $4320 text/followme           return   4320
 $4320 t3444ext/followme       return   4320
 $4320 /follow4me              return   4320
