Question

Say I have this for example:

$(function() {

    var seconds = 142.097019375;

    seconds = seconds.replace(/\.[0-9]*/, '');

    alert(seconds); 

});

This wont work, but if seconds was $('.seconds').html(); it would replace it, is there anyway to perform a regex on a jquery variable as such.

Answer 1

It’s not working because the Number object doesn’t have a .replace function.

Use seconds = seconds.toString().replace(/\.[0-9]*/, '');
