Replace Reg. Express: Part I

[TheConeHead]

How do I remove periods (.) I tried:

pnumber = pnumber.replace(/./g,"");

But it removed everything....

neveermind - I got it:

pnumber = pnumber.replace(/\./g,"");

One way (without regexp) would be:

pnumber = pnumber.toString().split('.').join('');

Hope this helps,

Just to add for clarity - the reason that it did not work before is because the period (.) is a regexp universal character that matches anything other than a newline character (\n). I'm guessing that since you had declared your regexp to be global (by the g on the end of the regexp) that your entire string was being replaced by an empty string ("") because the period was matching every character in the string.
