more regex drama

hello,

apparently javascript doesn't allow this:
/(?<=\d).*/
(I get an invalid group error)

but all I want is to replace everything after the first number, not including the number. I just can't seem to get my head around regex. Any hints?

var str= "abc123xyz";
str = str.replace(/(.*?\d+).*/i, "$1");
alert (str);

thanks, Philip. It's not exactly what I had in mind, though - using your example, say I wanted to replace the xyz (although xyz changes) with def. I could do:
str = str.replace(/(.*?\d+).*/i, "$1")+"def"
but isn't there some funkier way of doing it?

<script type = "text/javascript">

var str= "abc123xyz";
str = str.replace(/(.*?\d+).*/i, "$1def");
alert (str);

</script>

Not sure how to make this "funkier".

that's funky enough, thanks :thumbsup:
