[Resolved] Regular Expressions Omit Comma

[mj99]

Below is code that scrapes a number. The problem is that, if there's a comma in the number, only the part before the comma is scraped. For instance, 24,365 is 24.

Is there a way to get past the comma and scrape the entire number? I need to use the number without the comma.

//parsing to find out how many results there are
$start= strpos($playcode, "Start Point");
$finish= strpos($playcode, "Finish Point");
$playcode=substr($playcode, $start, $length);
preg_match("/([0-9]+)/",$playcode,$playmatches);

if (count($playmatches)>0) {
$result_count = $playmatches[1];
}

else {
$result_count = 0;
}

echo ($result_count);?> Results<?

try to get number with comma first (i.e 24,123), then take out comma

preg_match_all("/[0-9,]+/",$playcode,$playmatches);

Thanks! That did it.
Actually it was

preg_match("/[0-9,]+/",$playcode,$playmatches);

How do I print it now without the commas?

try str_replace function

That got it.

Thanks
