Hi,
Is there an easy way to display lage number by adding points.
I like to display numbers greater 1000 as 1.000 and 10000 as 10.000 an 1000000 as 1.000.000
At this moment i am working on an auction display and then it's easier to read.

Kind regards,
Ad

Code:

Debug.trace(toCommas(1000))

function toCommas(s) {
var a = new Array();
s = s.toString();

for (var i = 0; i < s.length / 3; i++){

   a[i] = s.substring(s.length - ((i + 1)  * 3),s.length - (i  * 3));
   a[i] = a[i].toString();
};

return a.reverse().join(",");
}

The UK uses commas if that is a point character change it on the return line.

Thanks Mack,
Here in the Netherlands we use points. The comma we use for cents.
Gonne implement it right away.

Hi Mack,

I wanted to post a demo file how i made the functions in the auction program but it's not possible to add a file
so i put it on my server. www.csnmedia.nl/opus/demo_auction.imp
Can you please tell me where to put the script.

Kind Regards,
Ad

Yes, the board is full.

I'll leave it here for a few days: https://sandbox.interaktiv.co.uk/tmp/demo_auction.zip

Thanks Mack,
Now it's clear and works great. I found one error and i hope it's only a script line thing.
When the value reaches One Milion, the output is: 1e+.006

It's not an error. Opus is using exponential notation and not converting it back to a string in base ten format.

You should be able to replace the line:

Code:

s = s.toString();

with

Code:

s = String.string(s);

Please be aware that this change will fail in HTML5 publications.

Thanks Mack,
This problem is solved. I am making a stand alone application so HTML5 is irrelevant.
Now let's make the different currencies. I made it for Dollar and Pound the old way
but now i have to implement the script....
