Can someone send me a sample script of how to print comma separated numbers in a Kornshell script?

Matthew,
try also this:

echo XXXXXX|sed -e :a -e 's/\(.*[0-9]\)\([0-9]\{3\}\)/\1,\2/;ta'

where XXXXXX is your number.

Hope this helps,
Alessandro

Thanks to Alessandro, quick and easy and I'm on my way.

Thank you also, Pete. I've been searching for a similar thread for ages, but never thought to use the word separator instead of commas.

Alessandro's solution fit the bill perfectly.
