Substitute "." by "€" in prices

[Olivier]

Hi friends,

I have to setup a menu card with prices composed like this : 12€90

The user in MarcomCentral portal will type the price like this : 12.90 or 12,90 as we do in France.

What may be the rule to substitute the "." or "," to "€" ?

 

Many thanks,

Olivier

return Field('Your Field').replace(/[\.,]/g,'€');

I never understood the red part below and will need to read up on it some more...is it an array of characters "." ","?

 

return Field('Your Field').replace(/[\.,]/g,'€');

 

Sorry and thanks in advance for the explanation.

There's no need to apologize. No, it's not an array – it's a regular expression.

 

In regular expressions (or RegExps), the brackets denote a character set. In this case, the character set is a '.' and a ',' but since the '.' has a special meaning in regexps, it has to be escaped with a backslash. The 'g' at the end means to search for those characters globally – don't just find and replace the first instance.
