Hi Kay, I like a regular expression for this sort of thing.. but it's just personal preference as I am often turning $10,000 into 1. I will also turn $10,000.00 into 1.00 reReplace(string,[^0-9.],,all) This will remove anything that isn't a number or a . (leaving decimal points in place) Cheers, Adam -Original Message- From: Kay Smoljak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 7 April 2006 11:35 AM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] what's the 'proper way' to remove comma formatting from numbers Hey guys, I can think of all sorts of ways to actually do it, but what's the most correct/bulletproof way to turn 10,000 into 1? -- Kay Smoljak http://kay.zombiecoder.com/ --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups cfaussie group.

LSParseCurrency (yes, you don't have currency but it would work here too) gets rid of pound signs, euro, $, commas, etc and turns the number into a decimal to four places. ..IIRC HTH barry.b On 4/7/06, Adam Chapman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Kay, I like a regular expression for this sort of thing.. but it's just personal preference as I am often turning $10,000 into 1.

A built in function that does it by design. Thanks Barry!
