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

If the string may contain both "Arabic" and "Persian" numbers then a one-line "replace" can do the jo as follows.

The Arabic and Persian numbers are converted to English equivalents. Other text remains unchanged.

Num= "۳٣۶٦۵any٥۵٤۶32٠۰";     // Output should be "33665any55453200"

Num = Num.replace(/[٠-٩]/g, d => "٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩".indexOf(d)).replace(/[۰-۹]/g, d => "۰۱۲۳۴۵۶۷۸۹".indexOf(d));

console.log(Num);
