JavaScript Remove everything except the first six digits

[makamo66]

I have an expression and I want to get only the style number from it. My code looks like this:

var expression = 'Style No : 479682 Color : Neutral Theme : Pearl  Size : 0.25"H, 9" + 3" L  One Side Only Lead and Nickel Compliant Freshwater Pearl Disc Beaded Anklet';



var regex4 =  /[^\d{6}]/g;



var sku = expression.replace(regex4, '');



console.log(sku);

output: 47968202593
desired output: 479682

Hey there, @makamo66.

I'm not here to help you with your code, as I have no experience working with JS. But I'm actually here to talk to you about the formatting.

@Master Yoda linked to this thread: https://codeforum.org/threads/how-to-post-your-code-into-threads.183/
In another thread of yours.

Not only that, there is also here: https://codeforum.org/help/bb-codes/
That page that I've just linked to you, tells you how to insert your code(You'll need to scroll a bit though). It will also teach you other ways of formatting your code.

Please, use these as future reference and do try to remember them. Not using BBCode to format has became an issue recently and it's now a nuisance to just ask someone to format their code.

This problem was solved at another forum using the slice method.

Could you please share this slice method ?

var sku = expression.replace(regex4, '').slice(0, 6);
