I have a button on my page with a class of comment_like and an ID like comment_like_123456 but the numbers at the end are variable; could be 1 to 1
comment_like
comment_like_123456
http://jsfiddle.net/hj2nJ/
var x = 'comment_like_6846511'; var y = ''; for (i = 0; i < x.length; i++) { if ("" + parseInt(x[i]) != "NaN") //if the character is a number y = y + x[i]; } document.write(y);
