How can I convert Persian/Arabic numbers to English numbers with a simple function?
arabicNumbers = ["١", "٢", "٣", "٤", "٥", "٦", "٧", "٨", "٩", "٠"]
persianNumbers = ["۱", "۲", "۳", "۴", "۵", "۶", "۷", "۸", "۹", "۰"]
It is the same schema, but the code pages are different.
Use this simple function to convert your string
var
persianNumbers = [/۰/g, /۱/g, /۲/g, /۳/g, /۴/g, /۵/g, /۶/g, /۷/g, /۸/g, /۹/g],
arabicNumbers = [/٠/g, /١/g, /٢/g, /٣/g, /٤/g, /٥/g, /٦/g, /٧/g, /٨/g, /٩/g],
fixNumbers = function (str)
{
if(typeof str === 'string')
{
for(var i=0; i<10; i++)
{
str = str.replace(persianNumbers[i], i).replace(arabicNumbers[i], i);
}
}
return str;
};
Be careful, in this code the persian numbers codepage are different with the arabian numbers.
Example
var mystr = 'Sample text ۱۱۱۵۱ and ٢٨٢٢';
mystr = fixNumbers(mystr);

best way to do that return index of number in array:
String.prototype.toEnglishDigits = function () {
return this.replace(/[۰-۹]/g, function (chr) {
var persian = ['۰', '۱', '۲', '۳', '۴', '۵', '۶', '۷', '۸', '۹'];
return persian.indexOf(chr);
});
};
Transforms any Persian or Arabic (or mixed) number to "English" numbers (Hindu–Arabic numerals)
var transformNumbers = (function(){
var numerals = {
persian : ["۰", "۱", "۲", "۳", "۴", "۵", "۶", "۷", "۸", "۹"],
arabic : ["٠", "١", "٢", "٣", "٤", "٥", "٦", "٧", "٨", "٩"]
};
function fromEnglish(str, lang){
var i, len = str.length, result = "";
for( i = 0; i < len; i++ )
result += numerals[lang][str[i]];
return result;
}
return {
toNormal : function(str){
var num, i, len = str.length, result = "";
for( i = 0; i < len; i++ ){
num = numerals["persian"].indexOf(str[i]);
num = num != -1 ? num : numerals["arabic"].indexOf(str[i]);
if( num == -1 ) num = str[i];
result += num;
}
return result;
},
toPersian : function(str, lang){
return fromEnglish(str, "persian");
},
toArabic : function(str){
return fromEnglish(str, "arabic");
}
}
})();
//////// ON INPUT EVENT //////////////
document.querySelectorAll('input')[0].addEventListener('input', onInput_Normal);
document.querySelectorAll('input')[1].addEventListener('input', onInput_Arabic);
function onInput_Arabic(){
var _n = transformNumbers.toArabic(this.value);
console.clear();
console.log( _n )
}
function onInput_Normal(){
var _n = transformNumbers.toNormal(this.value);
console.clear();
console.log( _n )
}
input{ width:90%; margin-bottom:1em; font-size:1.5em; padding:5px; }
<input placeholder="write in Arabic numerals">
<input placeholder="write in normal numerals">
this is a simple way to do that:
function toEnglishDigits(str) {
// convert persian digits [۰۱۲۳۴۵۶۷۸۹]
var e = '۰'.charCodeAt(0);
str = str.replace(/[۰-۹]/g, function(t) {
return t.charCodeAt(0) - e;
});
// convert arabic indic digits [٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩]
e = '٠'.charCodeAt(0);
str = str.replace(/[٠-٩]/g, function(t) {
return t.charCodeAt(0) - e;
});
return str;
}
an example:
console.log(toEnglishDigits("abc[0123456789][٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩][۰۱۲۳۴۵۶۷۸۹]"));
// expected result => abc[0123456789][0123456789][0123456789]
Short and easy!
"۰۱۲۳۴۵۶۷۸۹".replace(/([۰-۹])/g, function(token) { return String.fromCharCode(token.charCodeAt(0) - 1728); });
You could do something like this that uses the index of the number within the string to do the conversion:
// Returns -1 if `fromNum` is not a numeric character
function convertNumber(fromNum) {
var persianNums = '۰١۲۳۴۵۶۷۸۹';
return persianNums.indexOf(fromNum);
}
var testNum = '۴';
alert("number is: " + convertNumber(testNum));
Or map using a object like this:
// Returns -1 if `fromNum` is not a numeric character
function convertNumber(fromNum) {
var result;
var arabicMap = {
'٩': 9,
'٨': 8,
'٧': 7,
'٦': 6,
'٥': 5,
'٤': 4,
'٣': 3,
'٢': 2,
'١': 1,
'٠': 0
};
result = arabicMap[fromNum];
if (result === undefined) {
result = -1;
}
return result;
}
var testNum = '٤';
alert("number is: " + convertNumber(testNum));
Here is how I'd do it:
(strr => strr.replace(/\d/g, d => '۰۱۲۳۴۵۶۷۸۹'[d]))("asdf1234")
