I want to convert GBP 29.15* to just 29.15.

Can anyone please help?

I have already tried parsing to integer/float, substring etc. but getting an error.

  • Use the `subString` method to get the part of the String containing 29.15, and then parse it. `Float.parseFloat("GBP 29.15*".subString(4,9))` – Rapid Readers Jun 14 '17 at 18:03

Try this:

float f = Float.valueOf("GBP 29.15*".replaceAll("[^\\d.]+|\\.(?!\\d)", ""));

It removes all non-number characters and then finds the float value.
