RegEx: returning the numbers from a string

[fcoomermd]

How can I do this,
I have a string like this:
var address="121Anywhere";
I want to seperate the 121 from the Anywhere to 2 different variables.
var a=121;
and
var b=Anywhere;

how with Regex?
Thanks

FC,

Not sure about RegExp, but you can do it with parseInt:

alert(parseInt('121Anywhere'));

Will alert "121".

Hope this helps!

match(re); will return an array (if global) or the first match if not global

var address="121Anywhere";
alert(address.match( /\d+/g ));

var address="121Anywhere345";
alert(address.match( /\d+/g ));

try { succeed(); } catch(E) { tryAgain(); }

var address = "121Anywhere";
var re = /^(\d+)(.*)$/;
obj = re.exec(address);

where obj will be an array with:

obj[0] = "121Anywhere"
obj[1] = "121"
obj[2] = "Anywhere"

so you can set a and b as such:

var a = obj[1];
var b = obj[2];
