Format number to string for commas

Wondering if anybody has a snippet in Verse for formatting an int or float to a string with commas in it at the thousand, million mark? Can’t find anything anywhere so far. Wish there was a format function… or is there?

I think you might be looking for this snippet, which got published by a staff member last month

Thanks Fenzy! I passed by that one not thinking it would have what I want. You’re the best!

actually, I looked and it’s not in there. Anything else out there?

So what do you want exactly ? Could you send an expected result example ?

EDIT: I just understood, you just want to have the commas in it :smiley:

Well I don’t have any snippet but you should be able to just call ToString(:float) → Floor[] to get rid of the decimals → then with a for loop just add the characters one by one, or three by three and plug the commas in if needed

Realized it’s not what you asked for but I trust that you’re able to do this youself :smiley:

aww man… I wanted somebody to do it for me like everybody asks of me :slight_smile:

I’ll see what I can do, if I sort it out then I’ll share here and stick it in snippets too

DotFormatNumber(NumberToFormat : int) : string =
    ConvertedString := ToString(NumberToFormat)
    var ReturnString : string = ""
    for(Index := 0..ConvertedString.Length-1):
        if(Mod[ConvertedString.Length - Index, 3] = 0 and Index<> 0):
            set ReturnString = ReturnString + ","
        if(Char:=ConvertedString[Index]):
            set ReturnString = ReturnString + ToString(Char)

    return ReturnString
