Removing Dollar and comma from string

Question

How can we remove dollar sign ($) and all comma(,) from same string? Would it be better to avoid regex?

String liveprice = \"$123,456.78\";

Answer 1

do like this

NumberFormat format = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
Number number = format.parse("\$123,456.78");
System.out.println(number.toString());

output
