conversion to currency format

[Jinho Lee]

Hi,
Is there any handy (or standard) method to convert a Ruby string
"350000" or number 350000 to a US currency format such as: $350,000.00
or just $350,000 (without cents)? Thanks in advance.

Look at Currency:arser, this seems like what you want.

d'oh, Currency::Formatter is probably what you want, and not
Currency:arser.
