Thanks, Ron.  I needed to preserve the negative, so I append a minus sign,
then use your snippet. 



[Ron Teitelbaum] Excellent!  Well done!

,

str := '($1,925.46)' . 
('(*)' match: str ) ifTrue: [str := '-', str]. 
str := str reject:  [:e | '($,)' includes: e]. 
num := str asNumber  => -1925.46 

Sincerely, 

Joe.
