How about positive lookaheads? /(000)(?=(?:000)*[^0])/g If you want this also to work for "1234567" => "1,234,567", you can replace every 0 in the pattern with \d and call the replace function with ",\1" instead of ",000" This is untested, but should work... Let me know. regards, Claudius _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
