var url = 'http://nikerunning.nike.com/nikeplus/v2/services/app/run_list.jsp?userID=1413795052&startIndex=0&endIndex=-1&filterBy=all';
var match = url.match(/userID=(\d+)/)
if (match) {
var userID = match[1];
}
This matches the value of the userID parameter in the URL.
/userID=(\d+)/ is a regex literal. How it works:
- The
/are the delimiters, like"for strings userID=searches for the stringuserID=inurl(\d+)searches for one or more decimal digits and captures it (returns it)

Thanks it worked.. also can you explain to me what does
/userID=(\d+)/ do?AabinGunz
Then how come it gets only the number
1413795052 but not userID=1413795052?

The whole matched string is returned in match[0], and all captured strings (the parts under parenthesis) are returned in match[x] where x is the number of the capture group
This will get all numbers in the querystring:
window.location.search.match(/[0-9]+/);

try it right here in stackoverflow:
window.location.pathname.match(/questions\/(\d+)/)[1]
> "7331140"
or as an integer:
~~window.location.pathname.match(/questions\/(\d+)/)[1]
> 7331140

Try with:
var input = "http://nikerunning.nike.com/nikeplus/v2/services/app/run_list.jsp?userID=1413795052&startIndex=0&endIndex=-1&filterBy=all";
var id = parseInt( input.match(/userID=(\d+)/)[1] );
