 printf and formatting numeric strings Is there a feature of printf that can format a numeric picture string with
comma seperators
ie.
int num = 32767;
printf("number is %d\n", num );
What I want is "number is 32,767". I know I can crank it by hand, but am I
missing something ?

Nope. You'll have to postprocess the output yourself.

Hi David,
As far as I know, there is nothing within the standard that supports
this, BUT if you happened to be on a linux system you can use the following:
I must warn you that this is VERY system dependent and not very
portable. YMMV. =)
<off-topic>
#include <locale.h>
int main(void)
{
int num = 32767;
...
setlocale (LC_ALL, "en_US");
printf("number is %'d\n", num ); /* Note of the extra comma added */
...
Quote: }

Thanks HG, I'm on an Z/OS and although the ' flag is documented, it's only
for UNIX and Linux/390. Oh bollocks...
Cheers for you help...

set your locale appropriately printf will use this locale to
produce numbers as the one you request for. There is a field
called thousands_sep in struct lconv.
Lookup setlocale() and localeconv() for further information.
