Formatting numeric variables....

Friends, it's been a number of years since I asked how to format numeric variables, ie commas and decimal place such as $17,200. Has there been any progress on this in SL after all these years? Or...

with modern javascript it is not very complicated

part 1: converting the number (based on country code + currency)

function formatCurrency(inNumber){
  return new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', { 
    style:    'currency',
    currency: 'USD',
  }).format(inNumber);
};

part 2: connection to storyline variables

var player = GetPlayer();

var input  = player.GetVar("NumericEntry");
var output = formatCurrency(input);

player.SetVar("FormatedEntry", output);
