I need to display a comma-delineated score on the screen. How do I do that? I assume I convert the score to a string to start.
I know this question has been answered here in the forums before, but I can’t find the topic. How do you search the new forum? [import]uid: 76002 topic_id: 31643 reply_id: 331643[/import]
Try this:
scoreText = display.newText("", 0, 0, native.systemFont, 14)
score1 = 10
score2 = 20
scoreText.text = score1…" , "… score2 [import]uid: 81853 topic_id: 31643 reply_id: 126385[/import]
If your meaning is to covert for example 1000 into 1,000 and such. I use this code I found on google in my current app. I left the credit in the code.
function commaIt(n) -- credit http://richard.warburton.it
local left,num,right = string.match(n,'^([^%d]\*%d)(%d\*)(.-)$')
if left ~= nil and num ~= nil and right ~= nil then
return left..(num:reverse():gsub('(%d%d%d)','%1,'):reverse())..right
else
return n
end
end

I use this function I got from lua-users.org. Cheers. Naomi
