$(...) is usually related to JQuery. It takes as parameter a CSS selector, and returns a list with zero or more elements.
Taking the .text() should put in your variable the text of the first element; read on JQuery (plenty resources online) if you have to maintain JQuery code.

Hope this helps,
Pablo.
