Is there any way is JS to search a string for a RegEx and return the 
results?

For example:
myString = "hello2009"
myDigits = myString.search(/\d+/)

Currently myDigits = "0". How do I make myDigits = "2009"?

.match() returns an array. To return a string, do myString.match(/\d+/)[0]

Thanks Gary and Peter, that's what I was looking for.
