Regexp: Removing commas from numbers in text

rated 0 times [ 55] [ 7] / answers: 1 / hits: 9445 / 10 Years ago, tue, may 20, 2014, 12:00:00

I want to remove commas from numbers in a text, and I have the following:

/du002cd/

But this didnt work, and I'm not sure why (looking for a number, a comma, then a number).
Overall, I want to detect: (number) km, so that I'll convert it to meters. With the help of others, this is what I have for detecting a number (works on decimals):

/b(d+(?:.d+)?)+ *km/gi

Is it easier to modify the above or should I first remove the commas from all numbers?

Many thanks in advance!

A way to go is to match the parts around the comma and then remove it:

var input = '124,000 km';

input.replace(/(d+),(d+s?km)/g, '$1$2');
