Javascript Thousand Separator / string format

Question

Is there any function in Javascript for formatting number and strings ?

I am looking for a way for thousand separator for string or numbers... (Like String.Format In c#)

Answer 1

According to this reference there isn't a built in function for adding commas to a number. But that page includes an example of how to code it yourself.

Edit: To go the other way (convert string with commas to number), you could do something like this:

parseFloat("1,234,567.89".replace(/,/g,''))
