Question

Answer 1

I would like to add this little fact about translating PHP preg_replace Regex in JavaScript .replace Regex :

Result : "-1220025.47"

with PHP, you have to use the quotes "..." around the Regex, a point comma to separate the Regex with the replacement and the brackets are used as a repetition research (witch do not mean the same thing at all.

Result : "-1220025.47"

With JavaScript, no quotes around the Regex, a comma to separate Regex with the replacement and you have to use /g option in order to say multiple research in addition of the /i option (that's why /ig).

I hope this will be usefull to someone ! Note that the "\," may be suppressed in case of "1,000.00 $" (English ?) kind of number :

Result : "-1220025.47"
