Hello All,
is anyone knows of a function to convert english words to numbers?
For example:
"five" = 5
"twenty one" = 21
"twnty one" also should be 21
I've found plenty that convert numbers to words, but can't find any that convert words to numbers.
Thanks.
There is no such function in the API of which I am aware.
The last conversion ("twnty one" -> 21) seems to be rather an excessive requirement; at that point, from what I gather, you want the function to correct user typos. I rather doubt that that'll be at all easy, although you can use a sort of "sounds-like" approach on the string (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundex) to try to match it to words you're willing to recognize.
