It is more related to your regex pattern, you can search about it on Google, and test them on regex101-like websites.

Tnx but regex is for validation.
What i need is a mask which puts comma between every 3 digits as the user inputs the number. Any idea how that's achievable?

Again, regex patterns.

Try ^([0-9]{1,3}\.)*[0-9]{1,3}?$

As @SalahAdDin pointed, regex is the key

@dimitrov-adrian tnx,
your proposed regex is passed if i check a number like 444,444 with it using normal regex checking procedure,
but putting it on the interface, it puts a comma when i enter 5 fours, in the wrong place (it shows it as 444,44 instead of 44,444) and when entering 6 fours it turns into red and adds another comma at the end (444,444,).
so basically the comma position is wrong and the number of digits cannot be an even number using this regex.
any idea how this can be fixed?

I just tried it and yes, this is an issue. I believe it's related to the inputmask library that is used. I'll investigate more on this.
