As a side-note: To get ID from this element you may simply use this.id. — VisioN

var str =$(this).attr('id');
var ret = str.split(" ");
var str1 = ret[0];
var str2 = ret[1];

Use in-built function: split()

var source = 'myid 5';

//reduce multiple places to single space and then split
var splittedSource = source.replace(/\s{2,}/g, ' ').split(' ');

console.log(splittedSource);

Note: this works even there is multiple spaces between the string groups

One line solution:

//<div id="mypost-5">
var postId = this.id.split('mypost-')[1] ); //better solution than the below one!

-OR-

//<div id="mypost-5">
var postId = $(this).attr('id').split('mypost-')[1];

If there is one or more spaces between,

var str = $(this).attr('id');
var array = str.split(/\s+/g);
var str1 = array[0];
var str2 = array[1];
