Add comma separator to a value variable

I have read some thousand comma separator JavaScript question/answer but found it hard to apply it in practice. For example I have the variable 

x = 10023871234981029898198264897123897.231241235

How will I separate it in thousands with commas? I want a function that not only works with that number of digits but more. Regardless of the number of digits the function I need has to separate the number in commas and leaving the digits after the decimal point as it is, Can anyone help? It has to work on number and turn it into string.

First of all, for such huge numbers you should use string format:

var x = "10023871234981029898198264897123897.231241235";

Otherwise, JavaScript will automatically convert it to exponential notation, i.e. 1.002387123498103e+34.

Then, according to the question about money formatting, you can use the following code:

x.replace(/(\d)(?=(\d{3})+\.)/g, "$1,");

It will result in: "10,023,871,234,981,029,898,198,264,897,123,897.231241235".
