How to get value between 2 character

I have an Id of '2015-11-30_1112_3'. How do I get the values between the two underscores(_) so I am left with '1112'.

Please note that the length of the string varies.

simplest solution would be

var value = '2015-11-30_1112_3';
alert( value.split( "_" )[ 1 ] );

just split the variable, which should give you an array of 3 items. Second item is what you are looking for

var value1 = value.match(/_(.+)_/g);

Please try below solution with the help of this solution you can find value between two different symbols as well. 

var str = "2015-11-30_1112_3";
var newStr = str.split('_')[1].split('_')[0];
alert(newStr);

You can do this if you are sure that all ids have the same format:

var str= '2015-11-30_1112_3';
var array=str.split("_");
alert(array[1]);

You can of course use a regular expression:

s.match(/_(.*)_/)[1]

Explanation: I assume s is your string. The expression matches everything, i.e. (.*), between two underscores. You have to select index 1 of the result because index 0 will give you the complete match including the underscores. Subsequent elements contain the bracketed groups.
