(/[\d.]+/).exec((__PROVIDE_STRING_TO_PARSE__).replace(",", "."))

it parses given string and returns 1st number it encounters ( it will replace comas with dots so floats formatted as 12,345 could be 12.345 ( some countries use that ) )

then u can parse returned value as a number / float / int - do what You need with it ;-)
