How get number between two words in a string?

Question

I have a string pattern like following.

sales_order/view/order_id/155/key/0ee9098a18ccbca0879bfa93355fa1c7/

I want to get the number between "order_id" and "key" text this number can be of any length. How can I find the number between these two words?

This number '155' is dynamic.

[URL- find ascii](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8611815/determine-if-char-is-a-num-or-letter) you could derive a code by checking for ascii and split the number from string — Naveen Babu, Jun 17 '13 at 06:37

Using a regex:

var num = +( /order_id\/(\d+)\//.exec( str ) || '' )[ 1 ]

The || '' piece of that is in case there is no match. Also, if you specifically want to check for key, just add that to the end (between the two //'s at the end there)

Try with split this

var url = "sales_order/view/order_id/155/key/0ee9098a18ccbca0879bfa93355fa1c7/"
var stuff = url.split('/');
var order_id = stuff['3'];    //since segment 4 will be the order id
alert("Order id is "+ order_id);

You can also get the individual url segments with this method....

Here you go:

var str="sales_order/view/order_id/155/key/0ee9098a18ccbca0879bfa93355fa1c7/";
var n=str.indexOf("order_id/");
var m=str.indexOf("/key");

alert(str.substring(n + ("order_id/").length,m));
