getting regxp data from the GET method in jquery

[jordandap]

hey guys im using greasmonkey with jquery and i want to find the remaining time on a page then display it in my infomation bar in game but what im having trouble with is the regxp trying to get the text then get the 1,2 or 3 didgit number between the text here is my current function which gets the numbers on the page but returns a HUGE number because its returning every number

function getFallen()
{
	hellGate = "";
	$.get('http://kong.playmage.com/dream/fallen?board', function(data) 
	{
		temp = data;
		if(temp.search("Time until revival:") != -1 || temp.search("minutes") != -1)
		{
			numb = temp.match(/\d/g);//format of text needed "Time until Revial (number 1,2 or 3 didgits long) minutes" 
			numb = numb.join("");//with the current match i have it returns huge number
			//debugScript("Found the number :" + numb, "debug");
			//el2 = $inc1("test"); function outside this function just for finding classes/ids
			//if (el2) el2.textContent = numb; // for setting the content of the id class above not needed in this function but just for debug purposes
		}
	});
}

now oviously this get function WILL NOT work for you because you will need to log in so if you just store the following html into the temp var then it will function the same

would it be possible to only strip the following text Time until Revial (number 1,2 or 3 didgits long) minutes and then once it has found that match remove anything that isnt a number

[devnull69]

var TimeUntilRevival = data.match(/Time until revival:\s(\d+)\s/)[1];

should do the trick

[jordandap]

var TimeUntilRevival = data.match(/Time until revival:\s(\d+)\s/)[1];

should do the trick

just so i understand this and dont have to ask again how does that match actualy work?

also i tried a else statment for the oposite and for some reason is breaks the script and i cant understand how to fix it

TimeUntilRevival = temp.match(/Current Fallen (HP:\s\(\s(\d+)\s/)[1];

[devnull69]

It looks for the text "Time until revival:" followed by a white space character, followed by "at least one digit" followed by a white space character. If found, it will extract the "first group" from the matched string (which is the part of the string in brackets, so the digits part).

aah ok so thats why when im searching for the string im currently looking for that has a ( in it is messesing up the search so to escape it i would put this

temp.match(/Current Fallen \(HP:\s(\d+)\s/)[1]; ?
and would it matter if the numbers contained , every 3 numbers?

Yes of course, because \d+ would only match numbers as a sequence of digits without any different character.

What do you want to do with those commas? Do you want to include them or exclude them?
