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

123456.78

Answer 2

Here is more information Oracle JavaDocs:

liveprice = liveprice.replace("X", "");

Answer 3

Try,

String liveprice = "$123,456.78";
String newStr = liveprice.replaceAll("[$,]", "");

replaceAll uses regex, to avoid regex than try with consecutive replace method.

 String liveprice = "$1,23,456.78";
 String newStr = liveprice.replace("$", "").replace(",", "");

Answer 4

Just use Replace instead

String liveprice = "$123,456.78";
String output = liveprice.replace("$", "");
output = output .replace(",", "");

Answer 5

I think that you could use regex. For example:

"19.823.567,10 kr".replace(/\D/g, '')

Answer 6

Will this works?

String liveprice = "$123,456.78";
String newStr = liveprice.replace("$", "").replace(",","");

Output: 123456.78
