How to convert Persian and Arabic numbers inside a string to English using JavaScript?

Question

How can I convert Persian/Arabic numbers to English numbers with a simple function?

arabicNumbers = [\"١\", \"٢\", \"٣\", \"٤\", \"٥\", \"٦\", \"٧\", \"٨\",          


        

Answer 1

this is a simple way to do that:

function toEnglishDigits(str) {

    // convert persian digits [۰۱۲۳۴۵۶۷۸۹]
    var e = '۰'.charCodeAt(0);
    str = str.replace(/[۰-۹]/g, function(t) {
        return t.charCodeAt(0) - e;
    });

    // convert arabic indic digits [٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩]
    e = '٠'.charCodeAt(0);
    str = str.replace(/[٠-٩]/g, function(t) {
        return t.charCodeAt(0) - e;
    });
    return str;
}

an example:

console.log(toEnglishDigits("abc[0123456789][٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩][۰۱۲۳۴۵۶۷۸۹]"));
// expected result => abc[0123456789][0123456789][0123456789]
