How to remove '$' and ',' from a number field.

[RayBec]

What's the format to remove $ and , from a number field input on a web site?

 

[CapnSteve]

$input=~tr/\$,//;

where

$input

contains the value of the field.

Thanks...one thing I didn't think about was that I need to remove the trailing decimal figures...for example...if a user enters $600.00, I want to actually convert to 600. How would I remove those two trailing zeros????

$_ = "600.00";
/\./;
$_ = $`;
print;
