in thread Separating big numbers with commas
Heh, add a couple more decimal places and it will fail (unless you consider commas after the decimal point to be allowable):
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my $number='12345.67890'; # with commas, should be: 12,345.67890 print "N=$number\n"; $number =~ s/(\d)(?=(\d{3})+(\D|$))/$1\,/g; print "N=$number\n";
Output:
N=12345.67890 N=12,345.67,890
Looks funky to me.
