string - JavaScript - replace and create vars -

i have post ajax command returns following:

`email{admin@stackoverflow.com} cid{215}` 

what want replace email{} , cid{} using values vars

var email = 'admin@stackoverflow.com' var customer_id = 215; 

they appear that. there cleaner way than:

var result = "email{admin@stackoverflow.com} cid{215}";   // change        admin@stackoverflow.com cid{215} var replace1 = result.replace("email{"); var replace1a = replace1.replace("}");  // change        admin@stackoverflow.com 215 var replace2 = result.replace("cid{"); var replace2a = replace1.replace("}");  // have email, space , number // admin@stackoverflow.com 215 make before space string // email  // make int string called cid 

first use regular expression extract desired data:

var response = "email{admin@stackoverflow.com} cid{215}"; var regex = /email\{(.*)\} cid\{(.*)\}/; var data = response.match(regex); 

now can obtain values want:

var email = data[1]; var customer_id = +data[2];
