Regex using javascript to return just numbers
Regular expressions:
var numberPattern = /\d+/g;
'something102asdfkj1948948'.match( numberPattern )
This would return an Array with two elements inside, '102' and '1948948'. Operate as you wish. If it doesn't match any it will return null.
To concatenate them:
'something102asdfkj1948948'.match( numberPattern ).join('')
Assuming you're not dealing with complex decimals, this should suffice I suppose.
You could also strip all the non-digit characters (\D
or [^0-9]
):
let word_With_Numbers = 'abc123c def4567hij89'
let word_Without_Numbers = word_With_Numbers.replace(/\D/g, '');
console.log(word_Without_Numbers)
For number with decimal fraction and minus sign, I use this snippet:
const NUMERIC_REGEXP = /[-]{0,1}[\d]*[.]{0,1}[\d]+/g;
const numbers = '2.2px 3.1px 4px -7.6px obj.key'.match(NUMERIC_REGEXP)
console.log(numbers); // ["2.2", "3.1", "4", "-7.6"]
