I have a string in my Angular project and want to extract the first sequential set of numbers from that string.
example: aaa123aaaa95 will return 123 bbbb2bbb393 will return 2
What I've tried: I can extract all digits of my string with this code:
newVar = aaaa123aaaa6
var regex = /\d+/g;
var matches = newVar.match(regex); // creates array from matches
console.log(matches)
Above code will return '1236'. Instead of all digits I just want to return the first sequence of digits '123'. Any help would be appreciated!

const match = yourString.match(/\d+/)
// then you can use match[0]
