From "Mastering Regular Expressions 2nd Edn" p.65 `s/(?<=\d)(?=(\d\d\d)+$)/,/g` [download] I like this because you are actually using the regex to determine the location to insert the comma, as opposed to replacing any of the original string. HTH	[reply] [d/l]

derby, The only thing I would like to add is from the Perl FAQ. If you want to print money, then be sure to strip off the leading '$' (or appropriate symbol) before calling commify(). Cheers - L~R	[reply]
