Manipulating strings. Please help

I have been asked to extract the number portion from the span below. I assume I need to be using the slice() function but what I can not figure out is how to grab only the number portion. The tricky thing is, this number portion is going to change everytime the page is loaded.

I am thinking I am going to have to create a function using getElementbyId(‘sliceMe’).innerHTML that creates a character array. Then somehow tell it to start slicing once it runs into a Number.

Is this even possible? Thanks for help!!

[I]<span id=”sliceMe”>Here is the number I need to return<br />
<br />
<br />
90909090
</span>[/I]

<head>

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function () {
var elemStr = document.getElementById('sliceMe').innerHTML;
var elemStrNumbers = elemStr.match(/d+/g); //matches all simultaneous digits
alert("This is array of all numbers from string:n" + elemStrNumbers);
alert("This is a particular number from the array of numbersn" + elemStrNumbers[2]);
}
</script>
