Large numbers/integers in dot notation

Question

Any handy method to have for instance the number 1000000 become 1.000.000 and 10000 become 10.000 etc? I'm dealing with integers so comma's are not a necessity to include (but would be handy though, like 10.000,53).

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Check out the number_with_delimiter helper.

This is assuming that you're using Ruby on Rails, not just Ruby. number_with_delimiter is a Rails helper method that isn't available in Ruby, unless you coded it yourself.
