Use NSNumberFormatter

Use the method

- (void)setGroupingSeparator:(NSString *)string

NSInteger currency = 123456789;
NSNumberFormatter *num = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];
[num setNumberStyle: NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle];
NSString *numberAsString = [num stringFromNumber:[NSNumber numberWithInt:currency]];
[num release];

I have a solution for you. Very easy for understand!

NSNumberFormatter *mVolFormatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];

[mVolFormatter setPositiveFormat:@"#,##0"];
[mVolFormatter setZeroSymbol:@"-"];
long Vol = 5000000;
NSString *strYouNeed = [mVolFormatter stringFromNumber:[NSNumber numberWithInt:vol]];

and =>> strYouNeed = @"5,000,000"

Check my code!!!
