    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);
}
