Hi John, my idea was to match numbers with US and Brazilian decimal
and grouping chars.
So it should match 2,000,000.00 and 2.000.000,00.
Again, I am a beginner with regex so if you have a suggestion to do
that in a more efficient or simpler way please feel free to do so.

Obs.: in the previous message I posted the code fixed by Steven suggestion.

Thank you for your attention,
Mau.
