Format number to add comma

[jezzzzy 0]

I have looked in the help file and searched the forum but have been unable to find a solution to what seems like a simple formatting issue. I need a variable that is a number to be displayed with the comma (,) character seperating thousands. IE. My variable now returns as 16235 and I would like it to display 16,235.

StringFormat is your friend. You need to think about. At least with all those formats you can do what you want.

Tell me If I am right

Many lines. My code experience is in ASP/VB and I was hoping there was a "FormatNumber()" or something similar. I will review both the AddComma() function in the referenced thread and "StringFormat" and figure out which is most efficient - unless there is a subsequent reply with a better idea. I don't want a lot of bloat.

Thank you both for the help.

It may be due to my lack of knowledge, but I cannot see a way that "stringformat" will accomplish what I am looking for. Lots of options for number formatting, but I don't see any that will add my comma.

Else

Endif

Dim $aThousand[$iGroups]

I will review both the AddComma() function

Hi jezzzzy-

I checked out the AddComma() function and it works great. Keep in mind that the code at the top of the code listing is a built in test of the function itself. You don't need all that code, just the part from "func" to "endfunc". Put that code in a file called AddComma.au3 and save it in your "include" folder. Then you can call it from your script by having #include <AddComma.au3> at the top and using the function _addcomma("12345567") or _addcomma($myvariable).

The reason there is as much code as there is, is because he checks for decimal values, tests to see if the string is less than 3 digits, etc... It really is a good solution.

It does work well. I will use it. Thank you all.

I am busy with one - does'nt use the registry.

Beware , code is still dirty - just trying to get some results.

heres a little hobbyist's code

Dim $t, $final

$Var = 45678913231

$result = StringSplit($var, "")

For $x = $result[0] to 1 Step -1
    $t = $t +1
    If $t = 4 Then
        $final = "," & $final
        $t = 1
    EndIf
    $final =  $result[$x] & $final
Next

MsgBox(0, "Results", $final)

   I googled "Add commas to a number Autoit", and this is the first post on the list of results. After sitting down for a while and trying to come up with the fastest way possible to do this without using stringformat, since I couldn't figure out how to type the format control, this is what I came up with. I made sure this works with decimal numbers, and tried to get some speed statistics for 1 to 15 digit numbers. Autoit puts larger numbers than that in scientific notation, and I don't know how to format the number differently. It's probably another stringformat trick.

   If you only want the actual function, then just copy what is between func and endfunc. Everything else is just for testing purposes.

   Anyway, here is the code. I made all the variable names 1 letter long because I've found in the past that long variable names can slow a script down, and whoever uses this code will probably just #include the file in their script, so this code won't be read or changed much, and doesn't need easy to read variable names. On my machine, I was able to format 300,000 numbers in 6.11 seconds, which is 49,083 numbers per second. It looks like my nice tab indents won't show here, and the code isn't colored normally after the end of my comments, but Tidy Autoit Source should make this code easier to read.

Oscis,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum.

You noticed that this thread has been dormant for nearly 9 years, but you still thought it worth reviving? Not a good idea.

Please do not necro-post like this again - just open a new thread and link to the old one if it is absolutely necessary for understanding the problem. We ask you to do this for two main reasons:

 

- 1. The language advances and the functionality might well be included in core or UDF code by now

- 2. The changes in language syntax mean that it is likely that code from more than a couple of years ago may well not run under the current release interpreter without significant modification.

No harm done, but now you know.

I necroed this thread because it is the first result in Google. Even though it's a very old post, it might point people who simply do a Google search to find what they're looking for in the right direction. What is the longest time a thread can be dormant and replied to without the reply being considered a necro-post? 6 months?

[Melba23 2,805]

Oscis,

I understand your point - but if you open a new thread then that is likely to become the new "first return".

As to when posting becomes inadvisable, we have no fixed term - but 9 years is way over any sensible limit.
