I want to convert all mas in a string in points and vice-versa. However I don't know how to do it since I get all mas or points after the first change.

"1.000,20" should bee "1,000.20"

How can this be done?

Try

"1.000,20".replace(/[\.,]/g, function (m) { return m == '.' ? ',' : '.' })

which uses the callback function option of replace()

Try this:

var str = "1,000.20";

//Split into ponents based on a period
var ponents = str.split('.');

//Iterate through each ponent, replacing mas with periods
var length = ponents.length;

for (var i = 0; i < length; i++) {
   ponents[i] = ponents[i].replace(",", ".");
}

//Array.join can be slow but still useful - join with mas
str = ponents.join(",");
