Text to number and decimalSeparator

Question

Hi, I need to convert a text (in a textImput) to Number.
Some times the user type: 1000.10 or 1000,10 do represent the
same number (one thousand and 10 cents)
the problema is that 1000,10 gives me NaN using the simple
way: Number(mytxt.text)
How can I solve this problem?

Answer 1

If there is no thousands separator (Like: english 1,000.00
represents one thousand; spanish/german: 1.000,00 represents the
same thousand):
I'd replace the comma with a decimal point (using indexOf to
find it), and later use Number() to convert:
s = textInput.text;
if (s.indexOf(",") != -1)
s = s.substr(0, s.indexOf(",") + "." +
s.substr(s.indexOf(",")+1, s.length - 1 - s.indexOf(",");
number = Number(s);
I hope is readable :-), and helps
