I want to get the float number 9.5 but I am getting 95. How can I solve this?
$('p.text-decoration').on('click',function(){
var getTxtNum = $(this).text().replace(/[^0-9]/gi, '')
var getFloatNum = parseFloat(getTxtNum)
$('input.items_number').val(getFloatNum)
console.log('test'+getFloatNum)
}) <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="text" size="3" class="items_number" value="0.0">
<p class="mt-3 mb-3 text-decoration cursor-pointer">Suggested ad rate 9.5%</p>Your RegEx string.replace(/[^0-9]/gi, '') in replace is removing the period, you should do this: string.replace(/[^0-9.]/gi, '')
$('p.text-decoration').on('click',function(){
var getTxtNum = $(this).text().replace(/[^0-9.]/gi, '')
var getFloatNum = parseFloat(getTxtNum)
$('input.items_number').val(getFloatNum)
console.log('test'+getFloatNum)
