How do you format numbers to have things like.
 Leading $ or , or <CR> with or without leading zeros.
  for example $56.00
              $056.00
              $1,3456.67
              <345.89>CR

Note sure if you can edit messages once sent.

 $13,456.67
 245,678,541

Simply add what you want in the format string. For example:

double d = 56.55;
writefln("$03.5s", d);
writefln("<.4s>CR", d);

will print
"$056.55"
"<56.55>CR"

I don't know of any "built-in" way to do number grouping.

Also, when dealing with monetary amounts, you shouldn't be using doubles (I'm not saying you are), but some other structure specifically designed to track cents. Ideally, such a structure would have built-in "toString" formating.

As for grouping by thousands http://dpaste.dzfl.pl/bddb71eb75bb *does* work, but I'm not particularly happy with the approach.

As monarch_dodra said, representing money via a struct or similar would be wiser than dealing with raw doubles/reals (as that paste does).
