Hello

Im looking for code to include in includeVariables.xml, that will display vote count with commas in it. My scraper for my movies doesnt include a comma for votes.

e.g.
Would like 1450 to output as 1,450. 125000 as 125,000 and so on for bigger numbers.

Thanks for any info

Hi phil thanks reply.

So is there any other workaround for this?

cheers

Hundreds of thousands variables.

Or make a script to do it.

a script cannot do this on-the-fly without drawbacks.
Modding the scraper would probably make more sense.

Hundreds of thousands variables just for a comma lol

Is the script difficult to do? Im not very good at coding.

If its too much work i leave it be. Dont want to be stressing over few commas ha

i don't know much about scrapers, but i don't think they have the ability to modify strings.
they just fetch the info from a website/api and pass the values to kodi.

since mediaelch is not a scraper, but a media manager, you might (and i know see already did) ask over there.

i'm using the moviedb scraper, it it returns the number of votes, including the comma separator.

I also never really looked too much into it, but from my experience with APIs it´s hard to imagine that the scrapers itself cannot modify the content to some extent.
this is from scrapers (wiki) wiki:
"A RegExp is a text processing command that takes text in buffer 'input', runs <expression> on it... formats the matches with 'output' and places the result in buffer 'dest'"
