Convert float value to display with Commas

[tharindufit]

Hi
I have float variables that stores my currency values, I want to display these values in a string with commas at each 3 digits, can I do it with Objective C. I am new to the language. Please help me to solve this.
For example,

float ft = 12333.8905;
NSString *strFloat = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.2f",ft];

this will show my float value with 2 decimal places 12333.89 , But I want it to be displayed as 12,333.89
Can I do it with objective-C. I want to create a string like above from my float value.

Thanks
Tharindu

NSNumberFormatter *nf = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];
NSString *str = [nf stringFromNumber:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:floatvar]];

Try this?


NSNumberFormatter *currencyFormatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];
[currencyFormatter setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle];
myLabel.text = [currencyFormatter stringFromNumber:someAmount];
