Javascript text manipulation
Just starting with js, decided to convert Friendfeed to a fluid app, and as part of that I need to be able to parse some numbers out of a string.

How do I complete this function?

    function numMessages(text) {
                
        MAGIC HAPPENS (POSSIBLY THE DARK ART OF THE REGEX)

        return number;
    }


input would be "Direct Messages (15)"

output would be 15.

Instincts tell me to find the first bracket then find the last bracket, and get the text in between but I don't know how to do that. Second instinct tells me to regex for [0-9], but I don't know how to run regexes in js. Jquery is avaliable already if needed.

Thanks!
