maxscript : display commas in long numbers

[blakestone]

How can I add a comma in numbers so that it's displayed like this:

1000 = 1,000

10000 = 10,000

100000 = 100,000

1000000 = 1,000,000

etc.

I couldn't find anything in the help file which shows how to do this conversion, unless I need to write my own script for adding commas?

I don't think there's a built-in way to do it (could be wrong but I can't find one either). According to the main Python docs it could do it for you, but that would require Max2014+Ext1 or Max2015. Googling should find a myriad examples in many different languages, so finding a suitable one and converting it to MXS shouldn't be too difficult (easier than writing it yourself anyway).

(dotNetClass "System.String").Format "{0:n0}" 1000000

Perfect, thank you.
