Separating thousands with comma

[paravantis]

Is there an easier way to separate thousands with comma?

Uses "Console"
PrintL format$(123456789.123,"###,###,###.###")
WaitKey

In the code above, we would have to know beforehand how large the value to be printed is, and the code would fail to place all the commas if the value were larger.

We could use

PrintL format$(123456789.123,"###,###,###,###,###,###,###,###.###")

to anticipate larger values, but I wonder if there is a more elegant solution.

I am answering my own question.

The code below does the job:

Uses "Console"
PrintL format$(123456789123456.123,"#,###.###")
WaitKey

Thank you for sharing the solution with others!

I suspect even this could work:

uses "console"

printl format$(1212313212313.123456, "#,.000")

waitkey

We should expand the docs to reduce the guesswork.
