Hi,
try using the split function http://freemarker.org/docs/ref_builtins_string.html


split

It is used to split a string into a sequence of strings along the occurrences of another string.
For example:   
<#list "someMOOtestMOOtext"?split("MOO") as x>
- ${x}
</#list>  
will print:   
- some
- test
- text  
      
Note that it is assumed that all occurrences of the separator is before
a new item (except with "r" flag - see later), thus:      
<#list "some,,test,text,"?split(",") as x>
- "${x}"
</#list>  
      
will print:
   
- "some"
- ""
- "test"
- "text"
- ""        
split accepts an optional flags parameter, as its 2nd parameter. There's a historical glitch with the r (regular expression) flag; it removes the empty elements from the end of the resulting list, so with ?split(",", "r") in the last example the last "" would be missing from the output.

Hi,
     I am facing one problem regarding numbers in pdf creation using freemarker.
For eg.

Here is one variable
grandTotal=2456789

I want to format it is like 245,678,9.00.

I am using two approaches:

1. ${grandTotal.string("0.00")}
     output= 2456789.00

2. ${grandTotal?string.number}
      output= 245,678,9

So How can I get 245,678,9.00 at one time?

or How can I combine both the approaches to get expected output?

You apporach ${grandTotal.string("0.00")} is correct, but you need a better format string. Freemarker uses Java decimal number format strings. Form memory ${grandTotal.string("###,###,0.00")} will do what you need.

try

 ${grandTotal?string(",###.00")} ‍
