I need to be able to pull the number that is in between the # and - in this string. I can't seem to get it to work.

  This will work for you:

  var text = "Proposal #33126 -";

  text.replace(/.*#|\s*-.*$/g, '');

  In your code add as last line:

  extractedNumber

  Or remove in your last line

  var extractedNumber = 

  This one is shorter:

  Number(inputString.split('#')[1].split('-")[0])
