formating number strings
I have treid searching for what I thought would be a common question...but to no avail.
I have to long numbers (4-8) digits. how can I format them so they are printed as 1,234,567 rather than 1234567? I have no idea where to start, have played with varying types of awk, print, substr.
Also, pecentages.....if you have total amount and amount used how, using expr, can you work out the percentage used? I get 0 as the value.
pecent=`expr $used / $avail \* 100`
percent, used, and avail have all been set previously as an integer value.
PS. I'm no mathsmatitiojkljknjn.....how ever you spell it, so my logic may be wrong.
Cheers,
Neil

I've created an awk script that handles a varying number of search strings handed to it as command line parameters ($1 $2 etc). There may be 1, or 2 or 3 or more. A simplified version of the script is:

Hello,
I wrote a script that does lot of things, and I would like to change the format of a number but without printing it now (so I don't want to use printf as it will print the value immediately).

NUMFMT_GET_TEXT_ATTRIBUTE(3) 1 NUMFMT_GET_TEXT_ATTRIBUTE(3)
NumberFormatter::getTextAttribute - Get a text attribute
Object oriented style
SYNOPSIS
public string NumberFormatter::getTextAttribute (int $attr)
DESCRIPTION
Procedural style
string numfmt_get_text_attribute (NumberFormatter $fmt, int $attr)
Get a text attribute associated with the formatter. An example of a text attribute is the suffix for positive numbers. If the formatter
does not understand the attribute, U_UNSUPPORTED_ERROR error is produced. Rule-based formatters only understand NumberFormat-
ter::DEFAULT_RULESET and NumberFormatter::PUBLIC_RULESETS.
PARAMETERS
o $fmt
-NumberFormatter object.
o $attr
- Attribute specifier - one of the text attribute constants.
RETURN VALUES
Return attribute value on success, or FALSE on error.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
numfmt_get_text_attribute(3) example
<?php
$fmt = numfmt_create( 'de_DE', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL );
echo "Prefix: ".numfmt_get_text_attribute($fmt, NumberFormatter::NEGATIVE_PREFIX)."
";
echo numfmt_format($fmt, -1234567.891234567890000)."
";
numfmt_set_text_attribute($fmt, NumberFormatter::NEGATIVE_PREFIX, "MINUS");
echo "Prefix: ".numfmt_get_text_attribute($fmt, NumberFormatter::NEGATIVE_PREFIX)."
";
echo numfmt_format($fmt, -1234567.891234567890000)."
";
?>
Example #2
OO example
<?php
$fmt = new NumberFormatter( 'de_DE', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL );
echo "Prefix: ".$fmt->getTextAttribute(NumberFormatter::NEGATIVE_PREFIX)."
";
echo $fmt->format(-1234567.891234567890000)."
";
$fmt->setTextAttribute(NumberFormatter::NEGATIVE_PREFIX, "MINUS");
echo "Prefix: ".$fmt->getTextAttribute(NumberFormatter::NEGATIVE_PREFIX)."
";
echo $fmt->format(-1234567.891234567890000)."
";
?>
The above example will output:
Prefix: -
-1.234.567,891
Prefix: MINUS
MINUS1.234.567,891
