Hello Raul;

Your method beats mine, which was manually inserting commas in the numeral. Your method did suggest what I consider to be one of the hidden treasures of J:

 1000#.^:_1]134125010
134 125 10

which saves the mental effort it takes to know to include the 4. Yet, somehow counting the actual number of digits seems harder.

134MB file you are trying to process.

I thought that that file was over a gigabyte?
   (4#1000)#:134125010
0 134 125 10

But I was wrong and you are correct, it's 134MB.
