Add a comma or period between groups of three digits in text. Keep surrounding words and produce an editable plain-text result. Follow the exact input and settings below to reproduce this example. Open Add Comma to Numbers.

01

Prepare the source text

Open Add Comma to Numbers and choose Write or paste text, or upload a supported UTF-8 text file. The upload opens the editor; it does not run the tool. This example uses the exact source shown in the comparison.

Maximum input and result: 1 MB of UTF-8 text, with a 1,048,576-character input ceiling. Expanding transformations must also fit the result limit.

Use the exact example input
Budget 1234567 and 1234.50

02

Choose the settings

For the recorded example, use these settings: Thousands separator: Comma (1,000).

Comma groups digits as 1,234,567 and keeps a decimal point: 1234.50 becomes 1,234.50. Period groups digits as 1.234.567 and uses a decimal comma: 1234.50 becomes 1.234,50. Only the integer part is grouped. Check identifiers, dates and numbers that already contain separators, because this is a text replacement.

Apply and inspect the result

Select Add Comma to Numbers when the input and settings are ready. In the saved example, the result begins: "Budget 1,234,567 and 1,234.50".

Use plain digits with a period for any decimal fraction. This tool does not convert currencies or fully parse numbers that already have grouping separators or use locale-specific formats.

Result overview shows Numbers formatted and the input-to-result character totals. Numbers formatted counts only number strings whose written form changed, so an unchanged short integer is not counted.

Result overview distinguishes changed, unchanged and empty results. An unchanged result means the selected operation did not alter the text; an empty result can be the expected outcome of removal or extraction.
