Jquery - Store text in a variable

Question

Im sure this is simple question but not able to find clear information regarding how to store text in a variable? What I was hoping to do is use Jquery to replace text from a TD and covert it into a link.

For example in my table td I would get a reference number such as 20150326105 and I would like jquery to replace that text so that it converts it to the following:

http://ticketingsystem.com/UpdateNotification.asp?OEN=20150326105&CL=ALL&SU=ALL

I want to add the reference number right after the OEN=. Is this something it is possible?

Yes, it's possible. What have you tried?

We need to see the html structure of your code.

Of course this is something which is possible.

jQuery(function($) {
    var oen = $('td').text();
    var url = 'http://ticketingsystem.com/UpdateNotification.asp?OEN='+oen+'&CL=ALL&SU=ALL';
    $('td').html('<a href="'+url+'">'+oen+'</a>');
});

Is that what you were looking for? Without any code, it's hard to be sure of that.
