    shortway to parse numbers with commas in bash?

    anyone know a shortway to parse numbers with commas in bash?

    ex: 1000
    becomes 1,000

    and so on

    this is what im using, it works, but wondering if theirs anything shorter

    Code:
    echo 10000 | sed -r ':L;s=\b([0-9]+)([0-9]{3})\b=\1,\2=g;t L'
