How to swap comma for a full stop in JS?

Question

JS is not my forte but there's something that needs done. The GTM code below is FB-related and takes price from the website. Problem is, the prices use a comma and they need a full stop.

How to adjust the code below so it swaps one for another?

<script>
  requirejs(['jquery'], function( jQuery ) {
    jQuery(".c-btn--pdp").click(function() {
       if(jQuery(".c-product-size__selected-option").text() != ""){
            var sku = jQuery(".product-info-stock-sku").find(".value").text();
            var price = jQuery("[data-price-type='finalPrice']").find(".price").text().substring(2);

            console.log("Added Product SKU: " + sku);
            console.log("Added Product Price: " + price);

            fbq('track', 'AddToCart', {
            content_ids: sku,
            content_type: 'product',
            value: price,
            currency: {{Currency}}
            });
        }
    });
  });
</script>

What is a full stop? Do you mean a period "."? If you want to replace something in a string you can use [String.replace](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/javascript-string-replace/): `price = price.replace(",", ".");` — Dimitri L., Dec 30 '19 at 09:57
@DimitriL. "FULL STOP" is the proper name for the character Americans often call a period. https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+002E — Jeremy J Starcher, Dec 30 '19 at 11:35

You can use split and join

  Query(".c-product-size__selected-option").text() != "") {
  var sku = jQuery(".product-info-stock-sku").find(".value").text();
  var price = jQuery("[data-price-type='finalPrice']").find(".price").text().substring(2);
  price = price.split(',').join('.')
  console.log("Added Product SKU: " + sku);
  console.log("Added Product Price: " + price);

Use replace:

value = price.replace(/,/g,'.')

 let price = "12,300"
 console.log(price.replace(/,/g,'.'))

I think this should work – kooskoos Dec 30 '19 at 10:04

You can add it as soon as you query the price – kooskoos Dec 30 '19 at 10:11
If you want it use it at a specific place like setting the value you can directly do value = price.replace(/,/g,'.') – kooskoos Dec 30 '19 at 10:11
Performance wise regex is slower than split and join – ellipsis Dec 30 '19 at 10:14

You have to ways:

str.split(search).join(replacement)

str.replace(/search/g, "replacement");

Using /g with the string will replace all the strings.
