Hey Byron

The regex I gave you returns an array with the second item in the array being the string, so first check to make sure the return is not null and then grab the second item:

var theTextArray = text.sourceText.match(/[0-9]+(ST|ND|RD|TH)/g);

var theText = (theTextArray != null && theTextArray.length >=2) ? theTextArray[1] : "";

theText;

Cheers,

Lloyd

Thanks Lloyd, that does return the string plus the digits. Do I not need the lookbehind to just return the string? I tried adding the lookbehind back in but it doesn't work.

Nathan, I didn't run across that site but I will check it out, thanks!
