addSeparatorsNF is part my comprehensive NumberFormat script, but if you only need separator formatting, then you can use the function by itself. It does not require the NumberFormat script.
Not every formatting style is the same. e.g. 1000 may be formatted as 1,000 or 1.000
So addSeparatorsNF gives you the ability to specify the input decimal character, the output decimal character, and the output separator character.
To use addSeparatorsNF, you need to pass it the following arguments:
nStr: The number to be formatted, as a string or number. No validation is done, so don't input a formatted number. If inD is something other than a period, then nStr must be passed in as a string.
inD: The decimal character for the input, such as '.' for the number 100.2
outD: The decimal character for the output, such as ',' for the number 100,2
sep: The separator character for the output, such as ',' for the number 1,000.2
addSeparatorsNF(43211234.56, '.', '.', ',') // 43,211,234.56 addSeparatorsNF('52093423.003', '.', ',', '.') // 52.093.423,003 addSeparatorsNF('93432,8', ',', '.', ',')> // 93,432.8 addSeparatorsNF('584,567890', ',', '.', ',') // 584.567890 addSeparatorsNF(-1.23e8, '.', '.', ',') // -123,000,000
The code starts off dividing the string into two parts (nStr and nStrEnd) if there is a decimal. A regular expression is used on nStr to add the commas. Then nStrEnd is added back. If the string didn't have nStrEnd temporarily removed, then the regular expression would format 10.0004 as 10.0,004
\d+ in combination with \d{3} will match a group of 3 numbers preceded by any amount of numbers. This tricks the search into replacing from right to left.
