FreeMarker - remove a comma from milliseconds

Question

Using FreeMarker, I want to display the date in milliseconds:

${mydate?long}

but I get as millisecond separated comma output:

524,354,400,000

is there a built-in function in freemarker to remove the comma?

thanks

Answer 1

It looks like from version 2.3.17you can use:

${myDate?long?c}

Answer 2

Alternatively, you can write this directive on your Freemarker template:

<#setting number_format="computer">

This will remove all commas from the numbers.

This is great for Freemarker 2.3.23

More information about these directives can be found here:
