number_with_delimiter
number_with_delimiter(number, delimiter=",", separator=".")
public
Formats a number with grouped thousands using delimiter. You can customize the format using optional delimiter and separator parameters.
- delimiter - Sets the thousands delimiter, defaults to ","
- separator - Sets the separator between the units, defaults to "."
number_with_delimiter(12345678) => 12,345,678 number_with_delimiter(12345678.05) => 12,345,678.05 number_with_delimiter(12345678, ".") => 12.345.678
Alternative: use 1000.humanize
1.humanize == “1″ 1000000.humanize == “1.000.000″ 1000.12345.humanize == “1.000,12″

Deprecation warning for old-style options
You will get a warning if you don’t define your separators as a hash:
DEPRECATION WARNING: number_with_delimiter takes an option hash instead of separate delimiter and precision arguments
So while you can still use that style, it’s not without a scolding.
