Using Python v2, I have the user entering an amount into a string as below:
RawPurchaseAmount = raw_input("Please enter purchase amount: ")
PurchaseAmount = float(RawPurchaseAmount.strip().lstrip("$"))
This is stripping out any blank spaces at the front of the input, and removing the $ sign if one is entered.
Is there a way to remove a comma symbol if it is entered? IE: $10,000.00 to become 10000.00
Thanks for any help.
You could use
replaceto remove all commas:"10,000.00".replace(",", "")
