tostring commas on a negative number

[flora123]

Hello ALL!

x=-241

eval final_x=tostring(x,"commas")

It shows [-,241], but it should be [-241].

How could I show the negative number correctly?

Thanks a lot. 😃

Interesting....It works as advertised when x=-1241 or x=-41 but not x=-241 or x=-111241.

I file this as a bug. In the mean time, you may use this temporary workaround:

eval final_x=replace(tostring(x, "commas"),"-,","-")

Good news - This was reported and resolved last month in an upcoming release.

I found I think too much...replace is a good idea in this time.

Thanks again!

Oh... I get another trouble.
Because the x is a variable number... 😞
Anyway thank you very much.
