Hi all,
I am used to put a u before custom properties names.
As I put a t before local variables, a g before globals, etc.
And always use meaningful words:
on SetOtherUsersList pCurUserNo
local tOtherUsersList
-
put AllUsersList() into tOtherUsersList --
delete item pCurUserNo of

That's the convention I use as well, ala Richard's writeup. By placing
a t before the local variables I can instantly tell

That looks pretty good.
As far as style, I'd only do a couple things differently.
First I'd use a parameter name like this
function fNumericToMoney n
or this
function
The format function may be worth a look at in the docs;
put $ format(%1.3f, 12345.678) into tResult
would format to 3 decimal places.
If you are after the thousand seperators, I don't think format can do
that, but I could be wrong.
Here's a snippet that will format with the thousand

Forgot to ask about final format ? two decimals ?

This would be a short and maybe elegant solution, except it doesn't
work:
function fNumericToMoney d
set the numberFormat to $,.00
return (d+0) empty -- force use of numberFormat

The dollar and comma are converted to zeros.

Say we have a 10 digit number called tInt - 1234567890

We start at length(tInt) - 3 (position 7) and put a comma after the
character at position 7
This gives us 1234567,890
The next iteration (-3) takes us to position 4 - put in another comma;

Also, you need to check that the number doesn't already contain any
commas or dollar signs, so replace them with empty before you start.
Then add a check for the parameter actually being a number.
Thanks.

I got it, a reverse repeat by 3.
I was wondering for a while how to do a reverse repeat, I got it.
