    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);
}
