I want to be able to convert a string number such as "1,427.76" to a number in coldfusion but the comma is making it fail. Is there a simple way to do it besides having to remove the comma?
<cfset string = "1,427.75">
<cfset number = string * 100>
The error occurs when trying to perform mathematical operations on it. If the comma is removed it works just fine but I'm getting the comma from a database calculation.
