Question

I need to format numbers so that thousands were not separated by anything and hundreds were separated with a dot. For example

1234.56
12.34
123

I wrote the following ReqExp

amountValue.replace(/^(\d+)[,.](\d{3})[.,](\d{2})$/,'$1' + '$2' +'.'+'$3').replace(/^(\d+),(\d{2})$/,'$1' +'.'+'$2');

If there a way to make it shorter?

Thank you!

Answer 1

I would just remove any non numeric character that’s not the decimal point:

amountValue.replace(/[^0-9](?!\d{2}$)/, '').replace(/,(?=\d{2}$)/, '.');
