Well, you might try NSNumberFormatter? :-)
>From its class ref we have this pretty complex formatter: rounding,
decimal points, and different looks for positive, zero, and negative
numbers:
NSNumberFormatter *numberFormatter =
[[[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
[numberFormatter setFormat:@"$#,###.00;0.00;($#,##0.00)"];
Then to get a formatted string you send the formmatter this:
NSString *formattedString = [numberFormatter
stringForObjectValue:anObject];
where anObject is an NSDecimalNumber
