1. You can use a regular expression to get the number from the string:
2. Another option would be to use regular expressions to take numbers out of the string:
3. You can use a regular expression for just this sort of thing, especially handy/performant if the pattern doesn't change:
var info = "Information4Table"and i want to parse out the number between the first word and the string "Table". So for the first item, i want to get "4" and in the last i would want to get "14". what would be the best way to do this javascript / jquery

1. You can use a regular expression to get the number from the string:
var n = /\d+/.exec(info)[0];
2. Another option would be to use regular expressions to take numbers out of the string:
var my_str="ERweer11Table";This would output "11"
var my_pattern=/\d+/g;
document.write(my_pattern.match(patt1));
3. You can use a regular expression for just this sort of thing, especially handy/performant if the pattern doesn't change:
var regex = new RegExp(/[0-9]+/); // or \d+ will also capture all digitsKeep around the regex object and you can use it for all your processing needs. The matches variable will contain null if there's no number in the string, or an array with the matches if there was one or more. The value will have your number in it. The leading '+' operator ensures it's a number type instead of a string type.
var matches = +regex.exec(yourStringHere);
var value = matches ? matches[0] : "";
