Format w/thousands seperator in C

[Sandman83]

Hi,

I'm really new to C and am wondering how to format a number with thousands seperators and a decimal.
EX. #,###.##

P.S. any tutorial sites will be greatly appriciated as well.

Thanks.

Here's a little function I wrote originally in MFC to add commas for the 1,000s - this may help get you off on a start if you can adapt it (unless of course you are using MFC anyway).

[tt]CString Delimit(int i)
{
CString str;
str.Format("%d",i);
if (i < 1000) return str;

for (auto int x=str.GetLength()-3;x>=1;x-=3)
{
try {
str.Insert(x,',');
}
catch (auto CMemoryException* e) {
e->ReportError();
e->Delete();
}
}
return (str);
}

and if you just want to use #'s, use a floating point number, and just use the setprecision method of cout, and set it to the number of decimals you want The weevil of doooooooooom
