Couple of Questions

Melchior

I just discovered this program the other day and I'm already obsessed with making tables! I have a couple of questions for those with more experience than myself. Sorry if they've been asked before!

First question: is it possible to output large numbers with commas, for example 1,000,000 instead of 1000000?

Second question: is there any downside to using leading zeros in a lookup table?

01-09:
10-99:
00100:

lines up much better in my text editor than

1-9:
10-99:
100:

Thank you!

Hi Melchior,

This question's pretty old, so maybe you've found your answer by now. But if you still want to commify, here's something you can use:

Table: Commify
Set: inc=1
Set: num=[{$1} >> reverse]
Set: numlen = [{num} >> Length]
[@CommifyLoop >> reverse]

Table: CommifyLoop
Set: inc={{inc}+3}
Set: newnum={newnum}[{num} >> substr {{inc}-3} 3][when]{inc}<{numlen}[do],[@CommifyLoop&;#93;[end]
{newnum}

The code: [@Commify with 123456789]
Produces: 123,456,789
