I'm a Lua newbie. What is the best way to do it?
Very brutal, there must be a better way :)
function self:formatNumber( aNumber, aLocale )
if aNumber ~= nil then
local aString = tostring( math.floor( aNumber ) )
if aString:len() > 3 then
aString = aString:reverse()
aString = aString:gsub( "(%d%d%d)", "%1," )
aString = aString:reverse()
if aString:sub( 1, 1 ) == "," then
aString = aString:sub( 2 )
end
end
return aString
end
return nil
end
