How to convert String with comma to Integer and Double

I am new to Java programming. I am trying to read excel file where the cell data is in String value. I would like to get the value in double or int. Here's the example data: 3,199,800.00 and 400,573.80. Now, I want to get the value as 3199800 and 400573.8.

I can get those values using this code:

String value = valueCell.getStringCellValue()
    .trim()
    .replace(",", "")
    .replace(".00", "")
    .replace(".10", ".1")
    .replace(".20", ".2")
    .replace(".30", ".3")
    .replace(".40", ".4")
    .replace(".50", ".5")
    .replace(".60", ".6")
    .replace(".70", ".7")
    .replace(".80", ".8")
    .replace(".90", ".9");

Is there a way where I can minimize the above code. Thank you!

Edited: Just to add, I want to keep the result as a string. thank you!

There's no need to trim off excess zeros, you can simply parse them straight into numbers with Double.parseDouble or Integer.parseInt (after stripping the commas). So for example:

Double.parseDouble(number.replace(",", ""))

If you wanted to keep it as a string, you could use the following regex:

number.replace(",", "").replaceFirst("(\\d+)\\.0+$|(\\d+\\.[1-9]+)0*$", "$1$2")

Which replaces any zeroes that a preceded by a . and any number of digits.

Try this.

static String convert(String input) {
    return input.replaceAll(",|\\.00$|(?<=\\..)0$", "");
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println(convert("3,199,800.00"));
    System.out.println(convert("400,573.80"));
}

output:

3199800
400573.8

Possible using only parseDouble:

static String st1 = "3,199,800.00";
static String st2 = "400,573.80";

public static void main(String[] args) {

    System.out.println(Double.parseDouble(st2.replaceAll(",", "")));

    System.out.println((int)Double.parseDouble(st1.replaceAll(",", "")));

}

results:

400573.8

3199800

Well you have to remove the commas in your case so the easiest way I could thing of is this one

String someExcelNumber = "3,199,800.00";
System.out.print(Double.parseDouble(someExcelNumber.replace(",","")));

First you remove the commas then you parse them to double or any other format up to you, but if the commas wasn't removed a NumberFormatException will be thrown
