How do I make a function with a parameter called val of type string and return a number extracting/eliminating all non-numeric characters;

function extractNumber(val) {

// I need another way, to try to solve this function, this way I'm using it didn't work correctly //

return val.replace(/[^\d]+/g,'')

}

Examples of what the result should look like:

'oo' => NaN

'57o' => 57

'n1.5' => 1.5

'n1,5' => 15

Based on the examples you provided, you could do something like this:

function extractNumber(val) {
  return val.replace(/^(-)|[^0-9.]+/g, '$1') || 'NaN'
}

let strings = ['oo', '57o', 'n1.5', 'n1,5']

strings.forEach(s => {
  console.log(extractNumber(s))
})

const extractNumber = (val) => val.replaceAll(/[^\d]/g, "");

example:

> extractNumber("ab23b1b512b12")
'23151212'
