Help converting numbers.

Heisenberg

Hey everyone I'm just getting started with OB and I'm having trouble converting numbers like 1970 to 1,970 or 20768 to 20,768.

I tried using the compute function but it adds a dot instead of a comma and removes the 0 at the end.

Hello Heisenberg,

i always did this with javascript maybe there is a way to do it with the function blocks but i dont know.

Here is my example code if you want to do it in Javascript:

FUNCTION Constant "10000000" -> VAR "testnumber" 

BEGIN SCRIPT JAVASCRIPT

    var change_this_to_variable_name_you_want = testnumber.toString().replace(/\B(?<!\.\d*)(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ",");
END SCRIPT -> VARS "change_this_to_variable_name_you_want"

var testnumber is the variable where your plain number is stored you need to change it in line 5 to the variable where your number is stored
var change_this_to_variable_name_you_want is the variable name that will have your number with the thousands seperator change the variable name in line 5 and line 7 as you wish
and of course delete the first function block it was only to create a test number

You could also replace the commas with nothing before passing them to the compute block
