Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Is there anyone around who can create a regular expression for me?
I have data that looks like this:
SMITH, JOHN (1949)
I need a regular expression to return the number inside the parenthesis. Otherwise, I can just do it without a regular expression.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
What language are you writing the regular expression in? PHP?

Javascript. Using a string object.

a = s.match("\\\\(\\\\d+\\\\)")
Where a is either null or an array containing the result.

Thanks!
Any way to do this without returning the parenthesis?

I think "\\\\((\\\\d+)\\\\)" will work.

Almost. I get something like (2104),2104

That is the way that the match function works. Just pop the value off of the array that it returns.

OK, I see that now.
Cool! Thanks!
eta: I was doing an alert on the result. Didn't realize you could alert an array!
