Get specific text from a string java script

I m working with strings in java script, for e.g if i have the below string:

str = "miniprofile-container http://www.linkedin.com/miniprofile?vieweeID=8573&context=anet&view"

i want the ID number "8573" from this type of strings. They are of different length but have the same struct as the above. So kindly help me in achieving it.

I may use the strcpy function, but it will not be a generic approach

You can also try this if you don't want/need to use regex:

var str = "miniprofile-container http://www.linkedin.com/miniprofile?vieweeID=8573&context=anet&view";
    var s1 = str.indexOf("vieweeID=")+"vieweeID=".length;
    var matches = str.substring(s1,str.indexOf("&context"))

alert(matches);

var str = "miniprofile-container http://www.linkedin.com/miniprofile?vieweeID=8573&context=anet&view";
var pattern = /[0-9]+/g;
var matches = str.match(pattern); //8573
