• javascript
• string

• better will be to break the string into array and then match and once it matches(suppose array[i]) then get array[i+1] – Harpreet Singh Commented Jul 4, 2017 at 16:36

A solution with findIndex that gets only the word after the number:

var number = 2;
var text = "Apply for 2 insurances or more";
var words = text.split(' ');

var numberIndex = words.findIndex((word) => word == number);
var nextWord = words[numberIndex + 1];

console.log(nextWord);

You can simply use Regular Expression to get the first word after a number, like so ...

var number = 2;
var text = "Apply for 2 insurances test";
var result = text.match(new RegExp(number + '\\s(\\w+)'))[1];

console.log(result);

var number = 2;
var sentence = "Apply for 2 insurances or more";

var othertext = sentence.substring(sentence.indexOf(number) + 1);
console.log(othertext.split(' ')[1]);

//With two split
console.log(sentence.split(number)[1].split(' ')[1]);
