str = str.replace(/[()]/g,'')

If you just wanted to remove the first and last characters, you could also have done

str = str.slice(1,-1);

Dude thanks! It worked perfectly with not even the slightest problem. – user2447830 Oct 26 '13 at 18:45
I was confused about the "-1" for a second. Looked it up - apparently if you use negative numbers with string.slice, the number will count from the end of the string instead of the start. – VSO May 05 '16 at 16:22

You can use replace function

var a = "(23,45)";
a = a.replace("(","").replace(")","")

If they're always the first and last characters:

str = str.substr(1, str.length-2);

Use this regex

var s = "(23,45)";
alert(s.replace(/[^0-9,]+/g,''))
