I need to reverse the amount from formatted number according culture to double value in javascript.

By the use of Intl.NumberFormat method we change number to specific format according to culture. I want reverse method to convert formatted number to actual numeric value. Example: new Intl.NumberFormat(window.navigator.language || window.navigator.userLanguage)

var number = 123456.789;

// For German uses comma as decimal separator and period for thousands
console.log(new Intl.NumberFormat('de-DE').format(number));
// → 123.456,789

// For India uses thousands/lakh/crore separators
console.log(new Intl.NumberFormat('en-IN').format(number));
// → 1,23,456.789

Anybody having idea please suggest.

Yes, could you please provide a little code example of how you are creating the number, so that we can test it ourselves (an example that works)? – nils May 18 '16 at 09:23

Generally it's better to store number value as double and format it with Intl function only for display. Isn't that solution suitable for you? – jkordas May 18 '16 at 09:28
It having very specific scenario, we can't use the format on display time. – Vishwajeet Bose May 18 '16 at 10:25
