Javascript/JQuery get # from url with regex or other solution

Question

I have URLs that are:

www.letters.com/letters/numbers/letters"

and

www.letters.com/letters/letters/numbers/symbols

How can I extract just the group of consecutive numbers?

@AvinashRaj maybe...I am not very familiar with regex with jquery. How would I write a function to grab the current url and return the numbers? — MicFin

Something like this?

var r = 'www.foo.com/bar/12345/foobarbaz'.match(/\d+/);
if (r)
    console.log(r[0]) //=> 12345
