Question : get value in string - Jquery based & Regular Expression

Hello, I'm being really braind dead here today.. I need to grad a value out of a file.

It looks like this

Version 1.6.7 - Teremba Bay
-----------------------------
 - #3999 Upload a file with apostrophe make problem
 - #4137 small text typo in admin/login.php
Version 1.6.6 - Bonde
-----------------------------
 - #3777 Documentation Error: redirect_url plugin
 - #3923 Adminlog download, tab separator single quoted
...
and on and on


all I want to do is get the top, the first Version in this case '1.6.7'  



I'm strating off with this...



  var jQ = jQuery.noConflict();
  jQ.get('doc/CHANGELOG.txt', function(data) {
  var re = new RegExp(/(?:Version)\s+(.*?)\-(.*?)/);
  var m = re.exec(data);
  if (m == null) {
    alert("No match");
  } else {
    alert(m[0]);
  }



so alert(m[0]); should have in this case alerted '1.6.7'

Thank you.. cheers..
