jQuery: extract a part from a link Tag

Question

How can I extract (with jQuery) the numbers from this a href Tags?

<a href="#slide1"></a>
<a href="#slide2"></a>
<a href="#slide3"></a>

Thanks a lot for help.

What have you tried? Are you able to get the href? Do you struggle with removing the "#slide" string? Conversion to a number? — Matt Zeunert, Jan 24 '13 at 14:54

Something like this should work:

$('a').each(function() {
  alert($(this).prop('href').replace(/[^\d]+/, ''));
});

$('a').each(function() {
  alert($(this).prop('href').replace(/[^\d]+/, ''));
});
