Specifically, I wanted the output to use the locale's thousands' grouping characters, if specified. To my knowledge, there's no simple way of doing this without involving an external process. Nowadays however, modern versions of `printf` and other formatting functions support the ' (single-quote) flag for various number specifiers. E.g., my Bash `printf` can do this: $ LC_NUMERIC="sv_SE.utf8" printf "%'d\n" 1000000 1 000 000 $ LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8" printf "%'d\n" 1000000 1,000,000 I think it would be very useful if `format` and similar formatting functions implemented this flag as a new feature.
