insert commas in number string

[crugh]

Hi,

How can I insert commas into a number of any length to show place value.

For example:
10000 converts to 10,000
100000 converts to 100,000
10000000 converts to 10,000,000
etc.

Thanks in advance

I don't know if this is the best way of doing it, or if there are any extensions that can do it, but at least this works fine

Have a text box named 'Big value' and a String object named 'Formatted string'.

* Player presses Enter
- Formatted string: Set text to ""
- Start loop "scan value"

* On loop "scan value"
- Formatted string: Set alterable string to Mid$(Edittext$( "Big value" ), Len(Edittext$( "Big value" ))-LoopIndex("scan value"), 1)+string$( "Formatted string" )

* On loop "scan value"
+ Loopindex("scan value") mod 3 = 0
+ Loopindex("scan value") > 0
+ Loopindex("scan value") < Len(Edittext$( "Big value" ))
- Formatted string: Set alterable string to "," + string$( "Formatted string" )

Use Compare two general values for the last 3 conditions

Thanks- this helps.

I was hoping there was an easier way since I have to chart 4 different payments at a time.

I found that I can add commas with Formatted Object and easily strip the commas with Tokens Object.
