get a char inside a span of a div

Question

<div id = "board_code">
 <div>
    <span>r</span>
    <span>o</span>
    <span>w</span>
    <span>1</span>
 </div>

 <div>
    <span>r</span>
    <span>o</span>
    <span>w</span>
    <span>2</span>
 </div>
</div>

I am trying to get the string '2' to be used for comparison with char like { [ ( < ' "

I tried this:

alert($('#board_code > div').eq(1).eq(3).text();
output is: blank

When I tried this:

alert($('#board_code > div').eq(1).eq(0).text();
output is: row2

$("span").last().text()

That could work, but I'm not sure if it's good enough for your needs.

$("#board_code span").last().text()

That one might be better.

thanks but i need to loop around the spans, that would look like: $('#board_code > div').eq(outerloop).eq(innerloop).text() – Jul 23 '13 at 18:51
Got it ^^. $('#board_code_dup > div').eq(1).children().eq(3).text() – Jul 23 '13 at 18:51
Glad I could help! Good you found your answer! – MortenMoulder Jul 23 '13 at 18:53
