Format Float with Comma

Answer:
1   
2   function FormatNum(Value: Extended; Decimal: Integer): string;
3   var
4     SLen, SPos: Integer;
5     SVal: string;
6   begin
7     Str(Value: 0: Decimal, SVal);
8     SLen := Length(SVal);
9     if Decimal = 0 then
10      SPos := SLen - 2
11    else
12      SPos := SLen - (Decimal + 3);
13    while SPos > 1 do
14    begin
15      Insert(',', SVal, SPos);
16      SPos := SPos - 3;
17    end;
18    Result := SVal;
19  end;
20  
21  //Also, you can simply do this:
22  
23  i: Extended;
24  s: string;
25  
26  i := 1000.123456;
27  s := Format('%.2n', [i]);


The value of s will be 1,000.12

You can also add your own characters, so you could do something like this:

s := Format('$%.2n', [i]);

This would output $1,000.12

So, good luck in your number to string formatting.
