string

Hi,

I hope this question isn't too basic.

I have a string "-123445". Is it possible to remove the '-' character from the string?

I have tried the following but to no avail:

$mylabel.text("-123456");
$mylabel.text().replace('-', '');

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Zaps
