Question

I have a XML file and in it there are prices defined for different items as follows..

<property>
    <propertyid>AAA</propertyid>
    <price>8.725</price>
    <discount>0</discount>
</property>
<property>
    <propertyid>BBB</propertyid>
    <price>4.135</price>
    <discount>0</discount>
</property>

But I want to remove the dot(.) in all of the prices..

eg : new XML string should be as follows..

<property>
    <propertyid>AAA</propertyid>
    <price>8725</price>
    <discount>0</discount>
</property>
<property>
    <propertyid>BBB</propertyid>
    <price>4135</price>
    <discount>0</discount>
</property>

How can I replace all of this at once using regular expressions in java.

This might be simple question, but I’m new to regular expressions and I need a quick solution.

Thank you all in advance.
