WordToNum(): Converting a word number (twenty-three) to a numeric number (23)
 
Quote:

#VARIABLE Ones {one|two|three|four|five|six|seven|eight|nine}

#VARIABLE Tens {twenty|thirty|forty|fifty|sixty|seventy|eighty|ninety}

This function will convert up to a 6-word word number into its numeric equivalent. Will produce numbers from 1 to 9999. The hyphen is optional, function will operate correctly with the twenty-one and twenty one formats.

Usage: @WordToNum(nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine)

Nifty, but wouldn't this be best suited to being recursive?

So @wordToNum("nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine")
=9000 + @wordToNum("nine hundred ninety nine")
=9900 + @wordToNum("ninety nine")
=9990 + @wordToNum("nine")
=9999

I'll have a go at a recursive one later in the week :)

Wow...nice. I did one of these on the old forums. I wonder if I can find it on the way back machine.

Update

I've uploaded a cMud version of my take on this problem to the package library.

I noticed Vijilante has one in his toolbox as well. From my testing his is a little faster, but I think mine is more elegant.

If cMud had inline functions (wishlist) I could make it faster. But as it stands it is a good example of recursion. It's for you Guinn.

Here's the reverse of the function I posted. Has the same range of numbers (1-9999), and works by reading the number in three steps--thousands place, hundreds place, and then the last two digits as one entity.

NOTE: for some reason I haven't yet puzzled out, this function doesn't seem to work in a loop.

This script is great and thanks for sharing! Very Happy

BUT, I'm having trouble getting it to work when the line is an even hundred (one hundred, two hundred...etc). Any advice on how to solve this?

And a little tip for folks playing on muds that add an 'and' to the number text: Nesting a %remove function clears that up...@WordToNum(%remove(and,one hundred and one))
