jquery - Extract numbers from a string using javascript

Question

I'd like to extract the numbers from the following string via javascript/jquery:

"ch2sl4"

problem is that the string could also look like this:

"ch10sl4"

or this

"ch2sl10"

I'd like to store the 2 numbers in 2 variables. Is there any way to use match so it extracts the numbers before and after "sl"? Would match even be the correct function to do the extraction?

Thx

Answer 1

Yes, match is the way to go:

var matches = str.match(/(d+)sl(d+)/);
var number1 = Number(matches[1]);
var number2 = Number(matches[2]);
