I want to extract decimal number 265.12
or 0.0
from alphanumeric string (say amount) having value $265.12+
or $265.12-
or
Without error checks, following will do:
var string = "$123123.0980soigfusofui"
var number = parseFloat(string.match(/[\d\.]+/))
123123.098
Try this also,
<script type="text/javascript">
function validate(){
var amount = $("#amount").val();
alert(amount.split(".")[1]);
} </script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="hidden" name="amount" id="amount" value="25.50">
<input type="submit" onclick="validate();">

You can use regex like this,
Live Demo
var amount = "$265.12+";
var doublenumber = Number(amount.replace(/[^0-9\.]+/g,""));
A more elegant solution and also a method to avoid the 0.7700000004
javascript math do this:
var num = 15.3354;
Number(String(num).substr(String(num).indexOf('.')+1));
The result will always be the exact number of decimals. Also a prototype
for easier use
Number.prototype.getDecimals = function () {
return Number(String(this).substr(String(this).indexOf('.')+1));
}
so now just 15.6655.getDecimals() ==> 6655
use :
var str = parseFloat("$265.12".match(/[\d\.]+/))
alert(str % 1); => 0.12000000000000455
