Need to output "String id" as "Numeric value" in different places using a loop

[jain_tj]

Could anyone please help me with the following problem

My xml file is
==============
<fig id="F0000001">
<caption>Captio n text</caption>
<image id="I0000001" image.class="ha lftone" image.type="jpg " print="0"
width="29-6" depth="23-6" pointer="I00000 01.jpg"/>
</fig>

I need my output in IE Browser using Javascript as follows (need it in
a loop, as I need to print in different places)

fig id output
======== ========
F0000001 1
F0000021 21
S0000001 1
S0000021 21

To converting the string a primitive number assuming the format above:

var stringID = 'I00301';
var numberID = stringID.replac e(/^\D*0*/,''); // --> 301
That will remove any leading non-digits and zeros in any browser that
supports regular expressions (which includes IE).

And will remove the whole of "F0000000".
Maybe stringID.replac e(/^\D*0*(.)/, '$1'); to be safer?
