I need to match a specific part of text and get the following numbers out using jquery

So I have a a div which contains mixed text (symbols, numbers, text etc) and I want to grab the numbers after matching a particular part.

For example:

Within the text is a part which says 'StartTime=' and this is followed by a timestamp which is what I need to get.

"EndTime=Fri, 23 Sep 2016 01:37:26 UTC client area:v2.1.2 
 operation = successful Time=9910 ms StartTime=1474594636638 
 client prod name EndTime=Fri, 23 Sep 2016 01:37:26 UTC client 
 area:v2.1.2 operation = successful Time=9910 ms"

out of the text above, I need to get this number out '1474594636638'

You can get the substring of the part you need:

var string = "EndTime=Fri, 23 Sep 2016 01:37:26 UTC client area:v2.1.2 operation = successful Time=9910 ms StartTime=1474594636638 client prod name EndTime=Fri, 23 Sep 2016 01:37:26 UTC client area:v2.1.2 operation = successful Time=9910 ms";
 
 var startTime = string.substring(string.indexOf('StartTime='), string.indexOf(' client prod name')).replace('StartTime=', '');
 
 console.log(startTime);

You could either use a regex

var numb = text.match(/StartTime=(.*?)\s/)[1];

or just split

var numb = text.split('StartTime=').pop().split(' ').shift();
