Comma Seperator

Hi there,

I searched the forum on the topic but could nt find the right one. How to enter number in a field which automatically inputs the number with comma in thousand separator format like 123,456,789 format??

Thanks

Hi,
not sure that is the best way but quickly :

Code: Select all

...
   put "123456789" into t
   put empty into t2
   repeat until t = empty
      put char -3 to -1 of t & cr before t2
      delete char -3 to -1 of t
   end repeat
   delete char -1 of t2
   replace cr with "," in t2
   put t2
...

Best regards
Jean-Marc
