Convert string with comma to integer

Question

Is there any neat method to convert \"1,112\" to integer 1112, instead of 1?

I\'ve got one, but not neat:

\"1,112\".split(\',\').join.to_i #=> 11         


        

Answer 1

The following is another method that will work, although as with some of the other methods it will strip decimal places.

a = 1,112
b = a.scan(/\d+/).join().to_i => 1112
