Javascript regex to remove number, then a space?

Question

How would I go about removing numbers and a space from the start of a string?

For example, from '13 Adam Court, Cannock' remove '13 '.

Answer 1

str.replace(/^\d+\s+/, '');

Answer 2

Search for

/^[\s\d]+/

Replace with the empty string. Eg:

str = str.replace(/^[\s\d]+/, '');

This will remove digits and spaces in any order from the beginning of the string. For something that removes only a number followed by spaces, see BoltClock's answer.

Answer 3

var text =  '13 Adam Court, Cannock';
var match = /\d+\s/.exec(text)[0];
text.replace(match,"");
