You can use the slice method like so: string.slice(startIndex, endIndex) In your case: id.slice(1) To obtain an integer: Number(id.slice(1)) EDIT: to remove non numeric characters from a string, Calvin's suggestion using the .replace method + regex is the golden standard 👌

Space careful your parameters need to be consistent 😉 with some cleaning your fn does work 👍take a look at regexes they're the built-in tool for the job

Nic! Calvin's replace way and Space's and your splice way both have its own limitations. Can you illustrate the difference with examples?
