I have a textbox for inputting some amount. It's a number field, and I want to make it formatted properly. For example, suppose I want to input 100000. So when user type 1000 it will be changed to 1,000 and upon typing of an additional 0 it would be 10,000, for one more 0 it will 1,00,000. I tried with some regex available over internet, but none of them works for an input type. What's the probable way to achieve that?

Thabnks!

Hi @Svwvh Rvndvll​

Please use this code in onTextChange method of your TextBox:-

function setValueWithComma()

{

var value = YourFormName.TextBoxName.text;

YourFormName.TextBoxName.text= putComma(value);

}

function putComma(num) {

num = num.toString().replace(/,/g, '');

x = num.split('.');

x1 = x[0];

x2 = x.length > 1 ? '.' + x[1] : '';

var rgx = /(\d+)(\d{3})/;

while (rgx.test(x1))

x1 = x1.replace(rgx, '$1' + ',' + '$2');

return x1 + x2;

}
