Parsing a Vimeo ID using JavaScript?

How do I parse an ID from a Vimeo URL in JavaScript?

The URL will be entered by a user, so I will need to check that they have entered it in the correct format.

I need the ID so that I can use their simple API to retrieve video data.

javascript vimeo

function getVimeoId(url) {
    var m = url.match(/^.+vimeo.com\/(.*\/)?([^#\?]*)/);
    return m ? m[2] || m[1] : null;
}

console.log(getVimeoId("http://vimeo.com/54178821"));
console.log(getVimeoId("http://vimeo.com/channels/nudiecutie/57383513"));
