Formatting values in byte
Hello
Does a command already exist for formatting numbers in byte for example?
Just thought I would ask if there is a function for it or if I should write one myself, don't want to reinvent the wheel.

Example:
10 = 10 B
1234 = 1.234 kB
1500000 = 1.5 MB

Thanks by advance

No - there are not any commands to do that.

However what you have shown us has a problem. K is not equal to 1000.
K = 1024, MB = 1048576 (or 1024 * 1024)
