Why doesn’t the AE Numbers plug-in have commas???

[Luc Nutter]

Thanks for the script, Declan. It was exactly what I was looking for, and your posts helped me a lot!

Cheers,

Can you further explain “first make sure your number is a string, then add from the .replace part as below:”

Thanks Barry

Love is great

Hi Declan,

I am using the code you provided to put that includes the dollar sign in front of the number, but I was wondering if its possible to also include the 2 decimal places. ( i.e. $1,000.12)?

This thread lives again!

The bit that is truncating the decimal point is where it says ‘toFixed(0)’. If you want two decimal places, then this needs to change to ‘toFixed(2)’. The full modified expression as below:

"$" + (effect("Point Control")("Point")[0].toFixed(2)).replace(/(\d)(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, "$1,");

if you are tired of programming your way out of counter animation you can use this Counter preset:https://www.vdodna.com/products/counter-preset/

Hey Declan,

I’ve used this code before for animated counters, so THANK YOU SO MUCH, but there’s somenthing I’ve been unable to do.

Some times I’ve been asked to use commas to separate thousands and points to separate decimals (1,000.10), but sometimes I’ve been asked the opossite, to separate decimals with commas and thousands with points (1.000,10).

How can I do this?

Thank you for this code. This thread lives again!

Wow, this thread really does live on. Ok, if you want to do as you are saying, then try this. Basically, replace the “.” with “,” then add the separator as a “.”

num = "$" + (effect("Point Control")("Point")[0].toFixed(2)).replace(".", ",").replace(/(\d)(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, "$1.");


Hope this is what you’re after.
