text format

[gyu]

Hi, Everyone

I hope everything is good for u.


Regarding the Text format,

I want to make a text format as " 1,234.56 ".

I can do it like "1234.56" using a text format, but can not make it "1,234.56" .

How to make it ??

At the settings for a textfield this format cannot be set.
Also when using the CTRL function sprintf you cannot defined it as a format for the float value.

I tried to write a small script which converts a float variable into this format.
Attached you'll find an example code. I did just some short tests and I'm not sure if it works in all cases.
Even in this example the string result is not exactly the same as the float variable defined in the beginning caused by the fact that a float variable has a limited precision.

Maybe there are some other and better possibilities in CONTROL to get the same result.

main(mapping event)
{
float f_value, f_f1;
string s_value, s_part;

f_value = 1234567.890;

f_f1 = fmod(f_value,1);
DebugTN(__LINE__,"f_f1","f_f1");

sprintf(s_part,"%3d",f_f1*1000);
s_value = "." + s_part;

DebugTN(__LINE__,"s_value",s_value);
f_value = f_value - f_f1;

while(f_value > 1000)
{
DebugTN(__LINE__,"f_value",f_value);
f_value = f_value/1000;
DebugTN(__LINE__,"f_value",f_value);
f_f1 = fmod(f_value,1);
DebugTN(__LINE__,"f_f1",f_f1);

sprintf(s_part,"%3d",f_f1*1000);
DebugTN(__LINE__,"s_part",s_part);
s_value = "," + s_part + s_value;
DebugTN(__LINE__,"s_value",s_value);
}

sprintf(s_part,"%d",f_value);
s_value = s_part + s_value;
DebugTN(__LINE__,"s_value",s_value);

DebugTN(__LINE__,"s_value",s_value);
}
