That works for numbers that are formatted for your locale.  More 
specifically, you have to know the decimal format for the locale of the 
formatted number, and process accordingly.  If the number is *not* from 
your locale, in addition to stripping the thousands separator you'll 
have to then convert the decimal separator.
