How to convert a formatted a amount to an integer in Javascript?

Question

I am trying to figure out how to convert an amount to an integer in Javascript. E.g.

Input 10.555,95 Output 1055595 Input 9.234,77 Output 923477

I was thinking about removing the dot and the comma, but I don't know if that would be efficient

What about non-European formatted numbers (e.g. `10,555.95`)? — BenM, Feb 13 '17 at 13:31
add replace if you simply want to remove . and , like .replace (",", "") — user7417866, Feb 13 '17 at 13:33
@BenM It should convert it to an integer, so it doesn't matter whether it's European formatted or non-European :) — App, Feb 13 '17 at 13:34

Based on your use cases, you want to make an integer by replacing the special chars in a string. You need to replace like this

 parseInt("9.234,77".replace(",","").replace(".",""))

...or `"9.234,77".replace(/[^\d]/g,'')` the hell out of it. – Matvey Andreyev Feb 13 '17 at 13:34

Since you wish to remove everything (regardless of formatting), you could replace any non-numeric characters and then force their type:

var intValue = + '10.555,95'.replace(/[^\d]/g,''); // == 1055595;

parseFloat('10.555,95'.replace('.','').replace(',',''));

The output if this code doesn't fit the requirements – Jan Feb 13 '17 at 13:39
It's been edited. It used to substitute comma for dot and then parse it as a float. – Jan Feb 13 '17 at 13:42
Yeah, sorry I've noticed that it should be always integer after I've submitted the answer. So you could probably use parseInt as well – xszaboj Feb 13 '17 at 13:47
