Hey Kalle, thanks for your quick response!

your suggestions seems to do the trick, but as it turns out I need those seperators.
For example 123.456,78 instead of 123,456.78.

I tried to put “s.replace(“.” , “,”)” in the original expression, but could’t get it to work.

Buuut after doing some further online research I stumbled over this sweet piece of expression, which I find pretty versitile and fits my needs perfectly.

Thanks anyways!

spacer = " ";
decimal = ".";
prefix = "$";
suffix = "¢";

isPrefixed = (effect("Show prefix")("Checkbox") == 1 ? prefix : "");
isSuffixed = (effect("Show suffix")("Checkbox") == 1 ? suffix : "");
amount = effect("Amount")("Slider");

function convertToMoney(amount) {
var _sign, _prefix, _suffix;
_sign = "";
_prefix = ((isPrefixed) ? prefix : "");
_suffix = ((isSuffixed) ? suffix : "");

// Removing the negative
if (amount < 0) {
_sign = "-";
amount = -amount;

}

amount = parseFloat(amount).toFixed(2);

amount = amount.toString().replace(/./g, function(character, index, array) {
if(character === ".") {
return decimal;
} else if ((array.length - index) % 3 || index === 0) {
return character;
} else {
return spacer + character;
}
});

return _sign + _prefix + amount + _suffix;
}

convertToMoney(amount);
