Remove all Commas from a String in JavaScript

Remove all Commas from a String #

To remove all commas from a string:

1. Call the replaceAll() method, passing it a comma as the first parameter and an empty string as the second.
2. The replaceAll method returns a new string with all matches replaced by the provided replacement.

Copied!
const str = '1,23,45.67';

const withoutCommas = str.replaceAll(',', '');
console.log(withoutCommas); // 👉️ '12345.67'

The first parameter we passed to the String.replaceAll method is the string we want to match, and the second parameter is the replacement for each match.

We could pass a regular expression as the first parameter to the replaceAll method, but we don't have to.

For our purposes, a basic string containing a comma will suffice.

Alternatively, you can use the replace() method.

To remove all commas from a string, call the replace() method, passing it a regular expression to match all commas as the first parameter and an empty string as the second parameter. The replace method will return a new string with all of the commas removed.

Copied!
const str = '1,23,45.67';

const withoutCommas = str.replace(/,/g, '');

console.log(withoutCommas); // 👉️ '12345.67'

The first parameter we passed to the String.replace method is a regular expression that matches all the commas in the string.

The forward slashes / / mark the beginning and end of the regular expression.

The second parameter is the replacement for each match. For our purposes, we replace each comma with an empty string.
