How do I split selected value, seperate the number from text in jQuery?
Example:
myselect contains c4
Just get only the number 4.
$('select#myselect').selectToUISlider({
sliderOptions: {
stop: function(e,ui) {
var currentValue = $('#myselect').val();
alert(currentValue);
var val = currentValue.split('--)
alert(val);
}
}
});

- Please use a meaningful, relevant title. – SLaks Commented Sep 1, 2011 at 14:57
- There's a syntax error in the line above the last alert. Your second hyphen should be the ending single quote mark. With that said, is the value actually "c-4" rather than "c4" as you had said? If not, why are you splitting on '-'? – CashIsClay Commented Sep 1, 2011 at 14:58

Reset to default 11You can use regex to pull only the numbers.
var value = "c4";
alert ( value.match(/\d+/g) );
edit: changed regex to /\d+/g to match numbers greater than one digit (thanks @Joseph!)
1) if it's always : 1 letter that followed by numbers you can do simple substring:
'c4'.substring(1); // 4
'c45'.substring(1); // 45
2) you can also replace all non-numeric characters with regular expression:
'c45'.replace(/[^0-9]/g, ''); // 45
'abc123'.replace(/[^0-9]/g, ''); // 123
If you know that the prefix is always only one character long you could use this:
var val = currentValue.substr(1);
