I am trying to cut out commas and full stops from numbers. I checking against ParseInt to see if the number is valid. If it is I am trying to check for commas and periods. Commas are not a problem.

However The full stop is a proving rather hard to pin down.

Why isn't this working?

PriceStr.match('/\./')


EDIT: Solved by using 'lastIndexOf' instead. Am still interested to find out how to match a full stop though.

In Javascript you don't put quotes around your regex patterns.

PriceStr.match(/\./); is what you need
