This script outputs 25,0000,000 when it's supposed to output 250,000,000?
local str = "1234" --input string
local output = "" --result
str = string.reverse(str) --reverses the string so that the , go in the correct place
for i=1 , string.len(str) do --loop through all characters
if i % 4 == 0 then --uses modulo which is the remainder from the division of i/4
output = output .. "," .. string.sub(str, i, i) --adds in the , incuding the number
else
output = output .. string.sub(str, i, i) -- no , needed
end
end
output = string.reverse(output) --puts the string back to its correct format
print(output) -- prints the result
kingdom5 provided this script and it works well but whenever i get past the hundred thousands it adds an extra digit to the thousands place instead of moving to the millions. Please help me

Do you think you could help me find a way to make the script reload overtime the leaderstat value is changed? i've already tried and each time it doesn't work. i tried having a function that was called when the value changed but it never changed the text on the guis alberthutchins 12 — 9y

Change the script to be work if you use if i % 3 == 1 and i > 0 then instead of if i % 4 == 0.
I recommend looking at http://lua-users.org/wiki/FormattingNumbers
ex, they have this function:
function comma_value(amount)
local formatted = amount
while true do
formatted, k = string.gsub(formatted, "^(-?%d+)(%d%d%d)", '%1,%2')
if (k==0) then
break
end
end
return formatted
end
ex, comma_value(1234567890) --> 1,234,567,890
If you have a string, you can use tonumber to convert it into a number.
