Removing Dollar and comma from string

java, regex, str-replace

Solution

do like this

NumberFormat format = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
Number number = format.parse("\$123,456.78");
System.out.println(number.toString());

output

123456.78

Problem

How can we remove dollar sign ($) and all comma(,) from same string? Would it be better to avoid regex? ``` String liveprice = "$123,456.78"; ```
