Convert Single Line Text variable to Integer

[Joe Taylor]

I have a Single Line Text Variable called "Base_Salary".

I'm using a Regular Expression validation to make sure the format matches $000,000  ($ sign and comma are mandatory)

Now I want to take this string and replace the $ sign and comma with "", then convert this resulting string to an integer.

The reason is I'd like to setup a condition in my workflow that branches my approvals based on this integer value.

(See attachment)

What's the best way to handle this?

Thanks.

Joe

Can you try below.

var oldvalue = current.variables.base_salary.toString();
var newvalue = oldvalue.toString().replace(/\$/g,''); //adding both in same will not work. replaces $
newvalue=newvalue.toString().replace(/\,/g,''); //replaces comma
var value = parseInt(newvalue);

Yay!  This worked great Jaspal!

The string variable is being converted to an integer properly.

My workflow condition is now branching the way I want.

Hopefully this post will help others with a similar requirement.

Thanks.
