Code Title: Proper Number

Description: If you have a long number to display, then why not make it split the number up correctly with

a comma?

For example, the number 12345678 looks odd, right? Ok, let's apply the Comma() function to that number and

display it like this automatically: 12,345,678 -much cleaner!

By the way, this script supports numbers as long as 15 characters (numbers), so if you have a longer

number than that, we may need to work together to advance this script a bit, but this snippet will work

just fine for your average numbers. Thanx to Dave Cantrell for this advice!

Copy and paste this snippet as-is into your editor:

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

<%

Function Comma(str)

If Not(IsNumeric(str)) Or str = 0 Then

Result = 0

ElseIf Len(Fix(str)) < 4 Then

Result = str

Else

Pos = Instr(1,str,".")

If Pos > 0 Then

Dec = Mid(str,Pos)

End if

Res = StrReverse(Fix(str))

LoopCount = 1

While LoopCount <= Len(Res)

TempResult = TempResult + Mid(Res,LoopCount,3)

LoopCount = LoopCount + 3

If LoopCount <= Len(Res) Then

TempResult = TempResult + ","

End If

Wend

Result = StrReverse(TempResult) + Dec

End If

Comma = Result

End Function
