string search in JS

[auvrm papu]

I'm looking for a JS function to get me the value between two braces.


for ex:

var myStr = "mytest[34]"

I want to retrive 34.

How do i do that?

thanks

Basic regular expression:

var myStr = "mytest[34]";
var re = /.+\[(\d+)\]/;
var foo = myStr.replace(re, "$1");
alert(foo);
