Takes a string/array of strings, removes all formatting/cruft and returns the raw float value.
Decimal must be included in the regular expression to match floats (defaults to
settings.decimal), so if the number uses a non-standard decimal
separator, provide it as the second argument.
Also matches bracketed negatives (eg. '$ (1.99)' => -1.99).
Doesn't throw any errors (NaNs become 0 or provided by fallback value).
Usage:
unformat('£ 12,345,678.90 GBP'); // => 12345678.9
Parameters
value: string
String containing the number to parse
Optionaldecimal: string = ...
