I am reading a text file and want to use regex below to pull out numbers with exactly 5 digit, ignoring alphabets.

Try this...

var str = 'f 34 545 323 12345 54321 123456',
    matches = str.match(/\b\d{5}\b/g);

console.log(matches); // ["12345", "54321"]

jsFiddle.

The word boundary \b is your friend here.

Update

My regex will get a number like this 12345, but not like a12345. The other answers provide great regexes if you require the latter.

My test string for the following   testing  12345 abc 123 54321 ab15234 123456 52341     If I understand your question  you d want   12345    54321    15234    52341     If JS engines supported regexp lookbehinds  you could do   testing match     lt   d  d 5     d  g    Since it doesn t currently  you could   testing match        D   d 5      d  g    and remove the leading non-digit from appropriate results  or   pentadigit        D   d 5      d  g  result       while    match   pentadigit exec testing           result push match 1        Note that for IE  it seems you need to use a RegExp stored in a variable rather than a literal regexp in the while loop  otherwise you ll get an infinite loop

No need to care of whether before after this digit having other type of words   To just match the pattern of 5 digits number anywhere in the string  no matter it is separated by space or not  use this regular expression    lt   d  d 5     d    Sample JavaScript codes    var regexp   new RegExp     lt   d  d 5     d  g        var matches   yourstring match regexp       if  matches  amp  amp  matches length  gt  0            for  var i   0  len   matches length  i  lt  len  i                         ydo something with matches i                         Here s some quick results    abc12345xyz     12345abcd     abcd12345     0000aaaa2       a1234a5     12345      lt space gt 12345 lt space gt 12345
