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
