Regex to remove letters, symbols except numbers

How can you remove letters, symbols such as ∞§¶•ªºº«≥≤÷ but leaving plain numbers 0-9, I want to be able to not allow letters or certain symbols in an input field but to leave numbers only.

Demo.

If you put any symbols like ¡ € # ¢ ∞ § ¶ • ª or else, it still does not remove it from the input field. How do you remove symbols too? The \w modifier does not work either.

Solution

  • You can use \D which means non digits.

    var removedText = self.val().replace(/\D+/g, '');

    jsFiddle.

    You could also use the HTML5 number input.

    <input type="number" name="digit" />

    jsFiddle.
