2 or 3 digits followed by 2 letters?

/^\d{2,3}[a-z]{2}$/i

You mean, to find them? That would be /(\d+)(TH)/. Then, $1 would be the number.

If you're looking for ordinal numbers, then you can't just look for 'th'. There's also 'st', 'nd', and 'rd' to consider.

A simplistic version would be:
/(\d+)(st|nd|rd|th)/

although that would also accept 51th, 22rd and 90st

[tt]var rx=/\b([0-9]*(1[0-9]th|[02-9](1st|2nd|3rd|[4-9]th))|(1st|2nd|3rd|[04-9]th))\b/i;[/tt]
