How to alter Bootstrap's typeahead selected value?

I retrieve the selected typeahead value by using this method:

$('ul.typeahead li.active').data('value');

I then set this equal to a variable, like so,

var foo = $('ul.typeahead li.active').data('value');

However, if I try and do something like this:

var foo = $('ul.typeahead li.active').data('value').replace( /\([^\)]+\)$/, '' );

it won't seem to update the value of foo even though when I console.log(foo) it actually is showing the right value for foo.

Can you please tell me what I could do to resolve this?

Data returns an object and not a String

Try :

var foo = $('ul.typeahead li.active').data('value').first.replace( /\([^\)]+\)$/, '' );
