I have variables that contain amounts and would like to remove the (US) thousand separators but also have to cover the scenario that there may be non-US formatted amounts where the comma is used for the decimals instead of for the thousands where I don't want to replace the comma.
Examples:
I was thinking of using the following but wasn't sure about it as I am pretty new to Regex:
myVar.replace(/(\d+),(?=\d{3}(\D|$))/g, "$1");
What is best solution here? Note: I just need to cover normal amounts like the above examples, no special cases like letter / number combinations or things like 1,2,3 etc.

To remove all commas from a string, call the replace() method, passing it a regular expression to match all commas as the first parameter and an empty string as the second parameter. The replace method will return a new string with all of the commas removed.
The character used as the thousands separatorIn the United States, this character is a comma (,). In Germany, it is a period (.). Thus one thousand and twenty-five is displayed as 1,025 in the United States and 1.025 in Germany. In Sweden, the thousands separator is a space.
