There are simpler and more robust ways to do that than replacing the
exact phrase:
Doing a regex replace using a back-reference:
var $stock = $('#myel');
$stock.text( $stock.text().replace(/.*(\d+).*/, 'Only $1
remaining') );
// $1 is a back reference to the (last) digit matched in the string,
in between parenthesis
Or simply grabbing the number:
var $stock = $('#myel');
var num = /\d+/.exec( $stock.text() )[0];
$stock.text('Only '+num+' remaining');
