Add commas into number strings (RegEx)

In numbers of more than three digits, it's general to use a comma after every third digit from right to left. If you want to add commas into really many number strings, the following regular expression will be useful:

Find: (?<=\d)(?=(?:\d\d\d)+(?!\d))

Replace: ,

The following figure shows how it actually works in the RegexBuddy application.
