Convert String to double in Java

Question

How can I convert a String such as \"12.34\" to a double in Java?

Answer 1

This is what I would do

    public static double convertToDouble(String temp){
       String a = temp;
       //replace all commas if present with no comma
       String s = a.replaceAll(",","").trim(); 
      // if there are any empty spaces also take it out.          
      String f = s.replaceAll(" ", ""); 
      //now convert the string to double
      double result = Double.parseDouble(f); 
    return result; // return the result
}

For example you input the String "4 55,63. 0 " the output will the double number 45563.0
