Extract numbers from a string?

[Aeden Frost]

Hi everyone, hope you're having a nice day.

I have a field for a string with a number (Eg. Box of 100)

I want to be able to extract the number from the string (100) and move that field to another field to be used in another string field.

I've made a client script like this but it does not seem to be working in the way that is intended, any help would be much appreciated 🙂

function onSubmit() {
	
var txt = ('u_internal_unit');
var numb = txt.match(/\d/g);
numb = numb.join("");
var ans = ('iui_amount');	
ans = (numb); 
	
}

Hi,

What is not working here?

Are you printing result in alert?

function onSubmit() {
	
var txt = ('u_internal_unit');
var numb = txt.match(/\d/g);
numb = numb.join("");

alert(numb);  // numb contains number here
var ans = ('iui_amount');	
ans = (numb);  // 
	
}

Thanks,

Anil Lande

Hi @Aeden Frost 

Please try the code provided below:

function onSubmit() {
    var txt = ('u_internal_unit'),
        numb = text.match(/(\d+)/g),

        numb = numb.join(',');

    //Not sure what is the purpose of below line??
    var ans = ('iui_amount');
    ans = (numb);

}

Unfortunately it is giving me an error;

onSubmit script error: ReferenceError: text is not defined:
function () { [native code] }

Hi @Aeden Frost 

My apologies!

I did a typo! Instead of txt I wrote text.

function onSubmit() {
    var txt = ('u_internal_unit'),
        numb = txt.match(/(\d+)/g),

        numb = numb.join(',');

    //Not sure what is the purpose of below line??
    var ans = ('iui_amount');
    ans = (numb);

}
