if there is no comma in the number nothing will happen.

another way

        $num = '1,202,445.00';
        $num =~ s/,//g;

I see my code was not correct, this line:

$string =~ tr/,/d;

should be:

$string =~ tr/,//d;

hi,


@temp = ("1,000.00","2, 000.00");

foreach $temp(@temp)
{
$temp=~s/,//sgi;
print "\n$temp";
}

otherwise u should store entire file into a single variable and use a regex as follows(My Point of view only)

$temp=~s/([0-9]),([0-9]+)\.([0-9])/$1$2$3;

[KevinADC]

$temp=~s/,//sgi;

"s" and "i" have no effect in this context

the tr/// operator is better used for this type of simple task. It is more efficient than using s///.
