JavaScript(regex): excluding matches from output

I have this text: nisi non text600 elit where 600 is added dynamically. How can I get it?

var str = ('nisi non text600 elit').match(/text\d+/);
alert(str);

This alerts text600, how can I alert only 600 without an additional replace of the word text(if that is possible)?

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Please see this working jsFiddle. You need to capture something in the regular expression, which is done using the ( and ).

The result will be an array there index 0 is the whole match applied on the string and the following indicies are your captures.

Use parentheses to catch a group in the regular expression:

var str = ('nisi non text600 elit').match(/text(\d+)/)[1];

Note: A regular expression literal is not a string, so you shouldn't have apostrophes around it.
