How can i make my gui automatically turn a number that has more than 3 digits (1234) into (1,234)? [closed]
I have a Hud on roblox that shows your leader stats "Money,job, etc" But i want to script the money text so that if the amount of digits is greater than 3 there's a comma put for example " If the player just got 1000 i want the guis to display it as 1,000 not 1000. and so on for every number. 1,000 2,000 10,000 15,000 100,000,000 etc."
I know that i could just go into the script and say if the value == 1000 then gui.text = 1,000 but that would be way too much work as they players are going to be in the high digits. does anybody know how i can do this?

This script I created will add the "," after every three numbers. You might want to turn this into a function.
Edit:- this uses a string so you may need to convert any numbers to string use this To string.
I can explain how modulo work in more detail if you need it just comment at the bottom.
Hope this helps.
01 | local str = "1234" --input string |
02 | local output = "" --result |
03 | str = string.reverse(str) --reverses the string so that the , go in the correct place |
04 |
05 | for i=1 , string.len(str) do --loop through all characters |
06 |
07 | if i % 4 == 0 then --uses modulo which is the remainder from the division of i/4 |
08 | output = output .. "," .. string.sub(str, i, i) --adds in the , incuding the number |
09 | else |
10 | output = output .. string.sub(str, i, i) -- no , needed |
11 | end |
12 |
13 | end |
14 |
15 | output = string.reverse(output) --puts the string back to its correct format |
16 |
17 | print(output) -- prints the result |
