Well, then you need to see the basics first. Try finding the REST documentation on the forums here.

kbulens You mean to strip off the text "members" from the "10 members" and display "10" only? Please clarify your exact requirement. I think you might not need to do this if you can get this from the REST response.

Are you creating a custom component to create a new widget? Though what you're looking for can be simply stripped off using jquery, but why do that when REST call will give you the number itself. Please post your code if you are creating a custom component.

This doesn't help me in understating what actually the problem is, can you post the REST call which you are making to get the results? posting the entire code wont be a bad idea.
