noob question on trim function with dollarformat function

[RDpinoy]

Well anyways, trying to figure out how to properly trim out US currency. I want to take out the $ and the , comma so that I can have my calculation work properly and not to have an error message about my string value.

If I understand your question right, simply don't use DollarFormat(). DollarFormat is a function that takes a raw integer or floating point value and puts in all the stuff you want to remove.

If I misinterprited your question you can use a regular expressing:

[PHP]<cfset strippedamt=RER eplace(amt,"[^0-9.\-]","","ALL") >[/PHP]
