Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Place , character after 3 digits from left to right in a string Post 302640507 by ahmad.diab on Tuesday 15th of May 2012 01:16:04 AM

actually if you want the number to be dynamic , my code will be better if you do below:-

Code:
import re

x = '12345678911234567'
m = re.findall(r"(\d{1,3})",x[::-1])
y = ",".join(m)
result = y[::-1]
print(result)

in this way , any number you give with even or odd count will give you a correct result.
