put a comma in the numbers just inside the string math

Question

I have a ٍstring of math numbers and I just want to put a comma in the numbers only for example:

String s="(1000+2000000-5000.8÷90000+√5×80000)";

I want to send it to a method to convert it to

String s="(1,000+2,000,000-5,000.8÷90,000+√5×80,000)";

i am using :

DecimalFormat myFormatter = new DecimalFormat("$###,###.###");
String output = myFormatter.format(s);
System.out.println(output);

But get it error because there are operator '+-..'

Answer 1

Isn't a simple approach using Matcher.appendReplacement enough?

import java.text.DecimalFormat;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;

....

static String formatMyString(String input){
    DecimalFormat myFormatter = new DecimalFormat("###,###.###");
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
    Pattern p = Pattern.compile("(\\d+\\.*\\d+)");
    Matcher m = p.matcher(input);
    while(m.find()){
        String rep = myFormatter.format(Double.parseDouble(m.group()));
        m.appendReplacement(sb,rep);            
    }
    m.appendTail(sb);
    return sb.toString();
}
