[Javascript] thousand separator

[Shawn Milo]

Okay, I've jury-rigged a solution.  
It ain't pretty, but it works.

I've just used a simplified regex
and a 'while' loop.

Suggestions welcome.

Shawn

      <script type="text/javascript">

         function addCommas(someNum){

            while (someNum.match(/^(.*\d)(\d{3}(\.|,|$).*$)/)){
               someNum = someNum.replace(/^(.*\d)(\d{3}(\.|,|$).*$)/, '$1,$2');
            }
            return someNum;

         }

         alert(addCommas('6541684.23'));
         alert(addCommas('1000.1'));
         alert(addCommas('34562346346'));
         alert(addCommas('3456345634563456'));
         alert(addCommas('763773763567.342'));
         alert(addCommas('123456.234'));

      </script>
