String to bigdecimal

[sanjay]

How can I convert a String like '$100,00.00' to BigDecimal

[javaguy]

Try the following code.

[java]
String str = "$100,00.00";
str = str.replace('$',' ');
str = str.replaceAll(",","");
str = str.replace(".", "");
str = str.trim();

BigDecimal dec = new BigDecimal(str);
System.out.println(dec);
[/java]

Use DecimalFormat class for this purpose.

[java]
String str = "$100,00,00.00";
DecimalFormat format = new DecimalFormat("$0,0.00");
double value =format.parse(str).doubleValue();
BigDecimal dec = new BigDecimal(value);
[/java]
