Subject: Formatting Numbers

This has got to be simple but I checked the PickAxe and Google to no avail.
My guess is that I'm looking for it in terms that don't make sense.

Anyway...

I have a fixnum:

a = 1000

I would like to output it with a comma, such as "1,000". Is there a
formatting class or something I can use something along these lines
(thinking from my Java background):

Formatter f = Formatter.new("N0")
puts f(a)

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Hunter
