Displaying Large Numbers With Symbols

[Karitoriki]

I'm trying to display large numbers with symbols/letters. After my counter goes from 9,999 to 10,000 I would like to display as 10k. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

you could use a string object to display the counter,
and force its output with custom rules basing on your needs

i.e.:

always
>>> set string to str$(counter)

counter >= 10000
>>> set string to str$(counter/1000) + "k"

etc. etc.
