Return only numbers from string
For this task the easiest way to do it will be to us regex :)
var input = "Rs. 6,67,000";
var res = input.replace(/\D/g,'');
console.log(res); // 667000

This is a great use for a regular expression.
var str = "Rs. 6,67,000";
var res = str.replace(/\D/g, "");
alert(res); // 667000
\D
matches a character that is not a numerical digit. So any non digit is replaced by an empty string. The result is only the digits in a string.
The g
at the end of the regular expression literal is for "global" meaning that it replaces all matches, and not just the first.
This approach will work for a variety of input formats, so if that "Rs."
becomes something else later, this code won't break.
You can make a function like this
function justNumbers(string) {
var numsStr = string.replace(/[^0-9]/g, '');
return parseInt(numsStr);
}
var input = "Rs. 6,67,000";
var number = justNumbers(input);
console.log(number); // 667000
