Your code would only replace the first occurence of  . However, since you're getting the text using .text(), the replace function should not be needed.

var m = t.replace(/ /g, ' ').match(/\d+-(\d+)\sof\s(\d+)/);

If your issue is not solved using the previous line, use alert(t) to check whether the input is as expected.
