Rails: Is there a rails trick to adding commas to large numbers?

Is there a way to have rails print out a number with commas in it?

For example, if I have a number 54000000.34, I can run <%= number.function %>, which would print out "54,000,000.34"

thanks!

Yes, use the NumberHelper. The method you are looking for is number_with_delimiter.

 number_with_delimiter(98765432.98, :delimiter => ",", :separator => ".")
 # => 98,765,432.98
