API version that uses system defaults for number formatting...

Code: Select all

Procedure.s FormatNumber(Number.q)
  Buffer.s=Space(255)
  GetNumberFormat_(0,0,StrQ(Number),0,@Buffer,Len(Buffer))
  ProcedureReturn Buffer
EndProcedure

API version if you want to customize the formatting...

Code: Select all

Procedure.s FormatNumber(Number.q)
  Buffer.s=Space(255)
  NF.NUMBERFMT\NumDigits=0   ;number of decimal places to use
  NF\Grouping=3   ;how many numbers before a seperator is used
  NF\lpDecimalSep=@"."   ;decimal seperator character
  NF\lpThousandSep=@","   ;group seperator
  NF\NegativeOrder= 1   ;lookup LOCALE_INEGNUMBER for all options
  GetNumberFormat_(0,0,StrQ(Number),NF,@Buffer,Len(Buffer))
  ProcedureReturn Buffer
EndProcedure

@AND51

this one is not correct :

Debug groupNumber(-123456789) ; output: .123.456.789

just for the challenge,

here is my recursive version of the function
this one supports Quad, Ansi, Unicode, MultiChar Separator, GroupBy.

Code: Select all

Procedure.s StrGroup_(tmp.s, sep.s, n.l, res.s)
  If tmp = "-" 
    res = tmp + res
  ElseIf tmp
    If res
      res = sep + res
    EndIf
    ProcedureReturn StrGroup_(Left(tmp, Len(tmp)-n), sep, n, Right(tmp, n) + res)
  EndIf
  ProcedureReturn res
EndProcedure


Macro StrGroup(number, separator = " . ", group = 3)
  StrGroup_(StrQ(number), separator, group, "")
EndMacro

Debug StrGroup(1234567890)
Debug StrGroup(123456789)
Debug StrGroup(12345678)
Debug StrGroup(1234567)
Debug StrGroup(123456)
Debug StrGroup(12345)
Debug StrGroup(1234)
Debug StrGroup(123)
Debug StrGroup(12)
Debug StrGroup(1)
Debug StrGroup(0)
Debug StrGroup(-1)
Debug StrGroup(-12)
Debug StrGroup(-123)
Debug StrGroup(-1234)
Debug StrGroup(-12345)
Debug StrGroup(-123456)
Debug StrGroup(-1234567)
Debug StrGroup(-12345678)
Debug StrGroup(-123456789)
Debug StrGroup(-1234567890)

@Paul:

Thank you for your fine API example. But in the second example there is a small mistake. In order to actually use your defined NUMBERFMT structure you have to provide the pointer to this structure instead of Null:

Code: Select all

GetNumberFormat_(0,0,StrQ(Number),@NF,@Buffer,Len(Buffer))

@Flype

nice one.

... it may be irritating if you end Proc-names with an underscore...
oh... and have a nice day.

@kaeru

you can rename it as you want :wink:

i tested the speed of each procs, all are acceptables,
even my recursive one which is fast enough.

i think the best one is the Win32 function because it can also process decimal number.

perhaps you should extend you function to process them, too?

I bet the Linux or Mac user would aprecciate it.. ;)

Maybe this one - not much tested (no time) :

Code: Select all

; Supports Double, Quad, Ansi, Unicode, ThousandSep, DecimalSep, Grouping, NumDigits. 

Procedure.s StrNum(NumLeft.s, NumRight.s, ThousandSep.s, DecimalSep.s, Grouping.l, result.s) ; reserved.
  If NumLeft = "-"
    result = NumLeft + result
  ElseIf NumLeft
    If result
      result = ThousandSep + result
    EndIf
    ProcedureReturn StrNum(Left(NumLeft, Len(NumLeft)-Grouping), NumRight, ThousandSep, DecimalSep, Grouping, Right(NumLeft, Grouping) + result)
  EndIf
  If NumRight
    result + DecimalSep + NumRight
  EndIf
  ProcedureReturn result
EndProcedure

Procedure.s StrNumQ(Value.q, ThousandSep.s = ",", Grouping.l = 3) ; main.
  ProcedureReturn StrNum(StrQ(Value), "", ThousandSep, "", Grouping, "")
EndProcedure

Procedure.s StrNumD(Value.d, ThousandSep.s = ",", DecimalSep.s = ".", Grouping.l = 3, NumDigits.l = 4) ; main.
  ProcedureReturn StrNum(StringField(StrD(Value), 1, "."), StringField(StrD(Value, NumDigits), 2, "."), ThousandSep, DecimalSep, Grouping, "")
EndProcedure

Thx for this awful amount replies! :shock:

@ Paul: You API-example works just on Windows. However, thank you very, very much for that API-example.

@ Flype: I've corrected my mistake.

the first quote is for 'Paul' :!: [CORRECTED]


and what do you think about my last recursive function ?
i know you like recursive functions :wink:

I feel observed... :wink: You're right.

I've just tested your 11-line code, well done! I'm currently working on an own procedure. Recursive or not, I just wanna beat your procedure... :P

Can't you put everything into 1 procedure?
If I searched for some group-number-code, I wouldn't use your 2 macros+1 procedure...
