I want to allow my variable to be a part of regex. For instance:
const delimiter = '.';
I want to to use it like this:
someString
.replace(/[^0-9{delimiter}-]/g, '')
.replace(/(\.{delimiter}*)\./g, '$1')
.replace(/(?!^)-/g, '');
instead of
someString
.replace(/[^0-9.-]/g, '')
.replace(/(\..*)\./g, '$1')
.replace(/(?!^)-/g, '');
How to achieve this?
Actually, the reason why it's needed it to remove all non-numeric and non-decimal symbols from the given string. The issue is the format delimiter in different locales, so the delimiter can be . or , depending on the localization.
UPD: I saw that my question is duplicated, but in the original answer the example is pretty simple and gives me nothing.
Especially, I don't understand how to split /[^0-9.-]/g to /[^0-9 and -]/g to put my variable in between.
