i got this coding :

jquery :

<script type="text/javascript">
        function GetIdinfo() {
            var q = document.getElementById("graph").value;
            window.open("http://graph.facebook.com/" + q,"", "width=500px, height=300px");
        }
    </script>

HTML :

You can use regex

var regex = /\d+/g;
var string = "https://www.facebook.com/100008622";//window.location.href you can use directly this;
var matches = string.match(regex);  
alert(matches);

Jsfiddle

You can use .split().pop():

var url = document.getElementById("graph").value;
var value = url.split('/').pop();

Here the .split() makes an array out of the url and .pop() returns the last value in the array.

You can see the test here.

var url = 'https://www.facebook.com/100008622';
var value = url.split('/').pop();
alert(value)

You should use Regex replace function

var str = "https://www.facebook.com/100008622";
str.replace(/https:\/\/www.facebook.com\//i, "");
