Hi,

is there a way of counting back from the end of the number and
inserting the comma (even without a regular expression)? if i
use the
g modifier in the regexp (so var pattern:RegExp = /000/g;), it will
only pick up the first 000 (and every multiple thereafter)
instead of
leaving the first 0 (which is expected behaviour but something i'd
like to get around)

How about positive lookaheads?

/(000)(?=(?:000)*[^0])/g

If you want this also to work for "1234567" => "1,234,567", you can replace every 0 in the pattern with \d and call the replace function with ", \1"
instead of ",000"

This is untested, but should work... Let me know.

regards,

Claudius
