Answer 1

Have you tried this?

var tempObject = {}

it('should get count', function() {
      getDocumentCount(strDoc);
});

it('should display count', function() {
      console.log(tempObject.Count);
});

function = getDocumentCount(text) {
    var stringArray = text.split("(");
    tempObject.Count = stringArray[0].trim();
})
