Extracting a Numbers from a String in JavaScript

Question

I'd like to extract the numbers from the string. (E.g. I want the 24 and 380 from the string 24:380) I'd like to assign it in respective variables. Is there any way I could do that?

I couldn't find any solution to this problem.

You can use RegEx:

const paragraph = 'The quick brown 45 jumps over the lazy 23:12. It barked.';
const regex = /(\d+)/g;
const found = paragraph.match(regex);

console.log(found);
// expected output: Array ["45", "23", "12"]
