how to divide a string with number at a certain amount?
Hello, my game has a currency, and i am displaying that currency on a UI Text component. and when the amount get's to high, the numbers gets to hard to read.
example on what is happening: money: 1241435356 $
example of what i want to achieve: 1 241 435 356 $
i need spaces between "every third" number, to make them less harder to read.
Thanks!
You should be able to use C#'s standard numeric formatting.
See here for details.
Just ask if you need more explanation. I can provide some examples.
when i use "ToString("C3")" the number shows almost what i want to achieve, the only problem is that there is 3 zero's just before my number. it makes the whole number look bigger than it actually is :o
is there a way to remove decimals also while using the ToString("C3") ?
thanks
I'am just going to reply to my own comment, i fixed the problem i had, i typed ToString("C3") wich will give you 3 decimals after, you just have to put 0 at the number 3 ins$$anonymous$$d and POOF the decimals are gone!
Thanks you so much for helping me!
In general the 'number format strings' with ToString() are the handiest way to format numbers to strings.
To get a space as the "group separator" you have to make your own NumberFormatInfo and specify your own group separator for it instead of the normal ',' as shown here
var nfi = (NumberFormatInfo)CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.NumberFormat.Clone();
nfi.NumberGroupSeparator = " ";
string formatted = 1234897.11m.ToString("#,0.00", nfi); // "1 234 897.11"
do you need to put in "using" of some sort to use the "NumberFormatInfo"?
Googling NumberFormatInfo will show you it's in namespace "System.Globalization"
All of C# is well documented so there's never a need to guess these types of things :)
