Update: Unwhoops, I thought I'd seen RE: regexp for adding commas to a number before .. it works fine for anything over +/- 1000, but fails for 3 digit numbers or less (ie, if it can't commify, it won't return anything).

If anyone can think of a fix to that regexp, that'd be good too .. *grins*.

As far as the specific Q&A page goes, I'm not sure that it's relevant anyway - I thought I was asking something fairly specific (suggestions for an improvement to something I already have, not new code). Maybe I'm wrong ..

Eep .. whoops, my mistake. I'd searched the FAQ, which turned up nothing, but evidently word order plays a bigger part than I realised .. :)

Thanks anyway ..
