Display numbers with commas?

[ZombiezPvP]

Hello!

So, I'm unsure on how to display someone's points with commas so it's easy to understand how many digits there are if that kinda makes sense.

So, instead of 9289482395, I would love to see 9,289,482,395.

The current function which displays their points on the scoreboard is

function( ply ) return ply.PS2_Wallet.points end,

What function would I add that would separate the numbers shown by ply.PS2_Wallet.points?

I know that utime has this function which prevents it from being displayed in seconds is:

function timToStr( time )
    local tmp = time
    local s = tmp % 60
    tmp = math.floor( tmp / 60 )
    local m = tmp % 60
    tmp = math.floor( tmp / 60 )
    local h = tmp % 24
    tmp = math.floor( tmp / 24 )
    local d = tmp % 7
    local w = math.floor( tmp / 7 )


    return string.format( "%02iw %id %02ih %02im %02is", w, d, h, m, s )
end

but I can't figure out how I could possibly convert or reflect from to the display of points.

Thanks for any help.

Well, I found this [url]http://lua-users.org/wiki/FormattingNumbers[/url] but I'm still confused on which suits my case.

[lua]function format_num(amount, decimal, prefix, neg_prefix)
local str_amount, formatted, famount, remain

decimal = decimal or 2 -- default 2 decimal places
neg_prefix = neg_prefix or "-" -- default negative sign

famount = math.abs(round(amount,decimal))
famount = math.floor(famount)

remain = round(math.abs(amount) - famount, decimal)

-- comma to separate the thousands
formatted = comma_value(famount)

-- attach the decimal portion
if (decimal > 0) then
remain = string.sub(tostring(remain),3)
formatted = formatted .. "." .. remain ..
string.rep("0", decimal - string.len(remain))
end

-- attach prefix string e.g '$'
formatted = (prefix or "") .. formatted

-- if value is negative then format accordingly
if (amount<0) then
if (neg_prefix=="()") then
formatted = "("..formatted ..")"
else
formatted = neg_prefix .. formatted
end
end

return formatted
end[/lua]

This one?
