I want to put the number behind the '#' in a variable. but the size of the number can change.

how do i do this?

(without jquery or any other library)

Answer 1

You can use split()

var res = 'www.example.com/example/createnew/#5462'.split('#')[1],
  res1 = 'www.example.com/example/createnew/#47'.split('#')[1];
document.write(res + '<br>' + res1);

Answer 2

var url = 'www.example.com/example/createnew/#5462';
var num = parseInt(url.match(/\d+$/)[0]);

Answer 3

try this:

var val = "www.example.com/example/createnew/#422";
var myString = val.substr(val.indexOf("#") + 1)
alert(myString);
