Remove comma from number

[ezryder]

Hi,
whats the easiest way to remove commas from numbers? I can do something which splits each element, loops through an aray omparing each element but I'm sure there must be a clean way?


eg:

$number = "1,345,567";

I want something which will convert $number to "1345567"

thanks

$number =~ s/,//g;

For a slight (I do mean slight) speed boost you can do$number =~ tr/,//d;

Thanks.

that must be a slight speed boost - its got one more character to read :eek:
