Removing commas from Numbers

[crapycoder]

Hi i have a Text File.
the contents of which are as follows:

name amount(per KiloGram) quantity(in KiloGrams) total($)
rice 2$ 100 200
sugar 10$ 1,000 10,000
salt 5$ 500 2,500

if i want to retrieve the quantity, when i display the value as 1000 in my form it is considering as string and showing me "1,000" because it has comma "," in between, also you can see in the amount in Total field.
i am getting the same problem with total field also.

i am using vb.net and i chose vb as programming language.

can any one help to send me a code snippet to remove comma from a number
(whatever may be the number, even in millions)

Thanks

You can use the Replace method of the String object to remove the commas, i.e:

Dim myString As String = "1,000"
myString.Replace(",", string.Empty)

store comma separated value in a string.........
Split it based on comma (,).........
now join all parts of spited string in another string.........
Convert this string in integer..................
& you got the results.............

You could try using the parse method of the "single" or "double" type..

double.Parse("1,000,000")

would give you

1000000.0

append the "ToString" method and you would get

"1000000"

I'd use the Double.Parse() method since it is a double that you want to work with in the first place.

Another suggestion would be to use a MaskedTextBox to format the input in a way that is predictable to you. They are pretty cool :) Check them out.
