removing dot symbol from a string [duplicate]

Answer 1

Split the string on all the .'s and then join it again with empty spaces, like this:

checkedNew = checked.split('.').join("");

Answer 2

replace will only replace the first occurance. To get around this, use a regex with the global option turned on:

checked.replace(/\./g, '');

Answer 3

You need to perform a global replacement as, by default, replace only performs one replacement. In theory you can pass an instruction to be global as the third argument, but that has some compatibility issues. Use a regular expression instead.

checkedNew = checked.replace(/\./g, "");
