Fix for Custom Currency Symbol

[marcocavanna]

Hi,

This is not an Issue but a possible fix for a possible issue 😄

In my Angular App i've got a customizable currency symbol and i use a real time database (Firebase).

In your function 'toFloat' from 'formatAsCurrencyUtilities' you provide a solutions only for Dollar Symbol with the RegEx on line 53.

To Avoid error from this i replaced that line with:

    var matchString = 0;
    if (currencyString) matchString = currencyString.match(/(\d|\.)/g).join('');
    return parseFloat(matchString, 10);

With this you can user any filter, with any currency.

Hi @marcocavanna! I agree this is a bug, but the solution is a bit more nuanced. Eg. some currency formats use , as the thousands separator and . as the decimals separator, and some are the opposite.
