Trim Special Characters from Numbers

Hi, 

 

I want to remove special characters from number. Can I use replace function ?

 

var Notional= Getter.vGetPropertyVal(WTbx_SingleLegNotional,'Text');
var Desired= Notional.replace(/[!@#$%^&*]/g, "");

 

Its coming as 1,000,000. But I want to trim all , from the number. Using above function I am gettign run time error. ANy suggestions?

    You can try using this:

    var Notional= Getter.vGetPropertyVal(WTbx_SingleLegNotional,'Text');
    var Desired= Notional.replace(/\D/g, "");

     

     

    This code works as shown below

     

    function ReplaceSpChr(){
    var s = "/[!@2#$4%^&1*]0/g00,0";
    // Create regular expression pattern.
    var re = /\D/g;
    // Use replace
    var r = s.replace(re, "");
    return(r);

    // Output:  2410000
}

      djadhav Thanks.

       

      So should I call this menthod and Pass Notional as parameter?

       

      ReplaceSpChr(Notional)

      ?

       

      Thanks

        Option 1:

        Try changing you code as follows first:

         

        var Notional= Getter.vGetPropertyVal(WTbx_SingleLegNotional,'Text');
        var Desired= Notional.replace(/\D/g, "");

         

        Option 2:

        If that has issues, which it should not, you could call the function with 'Notional' as parameter.

         

        function ReplaceSpChr(StringVal){
    // Create regular expression pattern.
    var re = /\D/g;
    // Use replace
    var r = StringVal.replace(re, "");
    return(r);
}
