Number counter expression

[Oleg Pirogov]

This:
var parts = number.toString().split(".");
gives you an array [‘1213′, ’37’], so you can apply your comma-separating function to parts[0] getting [‘1,213′, ’37’] and then rejoining them with:
parts.join(".");

Just for a reference, a regex code which does what you want:
function numberWithCommas(x) {
var parts = x.toString().split(".");
parts[0] = parts[0].replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ",");
return parts.join(".");
}
which I’ve found here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2901102/how-to-print-a-number-with-commas-as-thousands-separators-in-javascript

Ooo thank you, can’t seem to find the correct point to add this in though. Here is what I tried:

var num = effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”)
num = Comma(num);
[num]

function numberWithCommas(x) {
var parts = x.toString().split(“.”);
parts[0] = parts[0].replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, “,”);
return parts.join(“.”);
}

function Comma(number)
{
number = ” + Math.round(number/10);
if (number.length > 3)
{
var mod = number.length % 3;
var output = (mod > 0 ? (number.substring(0,mod)) : ”);
for (i=0 ; i < Math.floor(number.length / 3); i++)
{
if ((mod == 0) && (i == 0))
output += number.substring(mod+ 3 * i, mod + 3 * i + 3);
else
output+= ‘,’ + number.substring(mod + 3 * i, mod + 3 * i + 3);
}
return (output);
}
else return number;
}

It’s an alternative to your function, so:

function numberWithCommas(x) {
var parts = x.toString().split(".");
parts[0] = parts[0].replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ",");
return parts.join(".");
}

var num = effect("Slider Control")("Slider")
num = numberWithCommas(num);
[num]

Sorry I’m a bit confused I’ve pasted it in place of my function and now the number turns into the word ‘object’

[Oleg Pirogov]

Can you post the whole expression?

[Nick Doyle]

Here it is. I replaced the existing function with below:

function numberWithCommas(x) {
var parts = x.toString().split(“.”);
parts[0] = parts[0].replace(/\B(?=(\d{5})+(?!\d))/g, “,”);
return parts.join(“.”);
}

var num = effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”)
num = numberWithCommas(num);
[num]

[Oleg Pirogov]

Yeah, it’s effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”).value
This should work:

function numberWithCommas(x) {
var parts = x.toString().split(".");
parts[0] = parts[0].replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ",");
return parts.join(".");
}

var num = effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value
num = numberWithCommas(num);
[num]

Perfect! Thanks so much for your help.

If you wish to skip the Expressions and you have few buck to spare you can always use Counter Preset
