Re: Formating numbers using commas?

Sim,

Here's something I made once:


-- takes an integer and makes a sequence with commas every 3 digits:
function PrettyNumbers(object aNumber)
sequence PrettyNumber, Temp
integer TriCounter
PrettyNumber = {}
Temp = {}

TriCounter = 0
Temp = sprint(aNumber)

for n = length(Temp) to 1 by -1 do
  PrettyNumber = prepend(PrettyNumber,Temp[n])
  TriCounter += 1
  if TriCounter = 3 and n != 1 then
      PrettyNumber = prepend(PrettyNumber,',') 
  end if
  if TriCounter = 3 then
     TriCounter = 0
  end if
end for

return PrettyNumber
end function
