Strip 000's seperators and currency symbols from data pasted in to Speedcrunch

[Former user]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 379

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Copy a currency amount (with currency symbol and separators every 3 digits)to the
clipboard eg from Word.
2. Paste into Speedcrunch
3.Speedcrunch sees this as a string, you need to manually remove seperators and currency
symbols before it will use it as a number

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would hope to see just digits and decimal point(in blue). I see digits, decimal symbol,
thousands seperator and currency symbol, in black 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.10.1 on Windows XP; I also use it on Ubuntu 10.4 

Please provide any additional information below.
Feature request; thanks for listening!

``` I think the more interesting solution would be to use your input as a number with a unit. Also try to recreate the formatting for the output... that is the way you have your data after all.

If you don't want the output with seperators, leading zeros, and currency signs, then the solution would be to output both formats of data: containing the additional information and formatting as well as outputting just numbers.

However, it would probably just be easier for the user that wants to enter the number to just copy the number portion of the data. Or change the formatting on the data that you are pulling from. ```
