[Function]Comma seperated values!

[T0MBIE]

Hi folks!
i just thought i would share this function with the ppl that do your own scripts
you deserve this, anyway.
(this is just like php number_format)

lib/050-function.lua

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

How to use?

Simple!
$value = 1234567
doCreatureSay(cid, comma_value($value) )

this will result in:
1,234,567

simple and effective, perfect for everyones banking system!
hard to read your bank value with 12 digits
