I'm looking to build a regular expression to replace Rs./Re./rs/Rs with Rupee symbol from text like Rs.1,499 I tried following, but it replaces the amount after Rs. as well.
treated_value2 = treated_value1.replace(/(rs\.?\s?)\d+/gi,"₹");

1`.replace(/rs\.?\s?(\d+)/gi,"₹$1")`. You capture into a group the part you need to keep, and use a backreference to it in the replacement part. Or use a lookahead, `.replace(/rs\.?\s?(?=\d)/gi,"₹")` – Wiktor Stribiżew Mar 16 '20 at 11:50

2With `/r[es]\.?\s?(\d+)/gi`, see https://regex101.com/r/f7sv1g/1 – Wiktor Stribiżew Mar 16 '20 at 12:20
