Re: Numbers to text...

Don't say I never did anything for you. :-)


inputString = thisComp.layer("numbers").text.sourceText;

lessThanTwenty = ["zero","one","two","three","four",
"five","six","seven","eight","nine",
"ten","eleven","twelve","thirteen","fourteen",
"fifteen","sixteen","seventeen","eighteen","nineteen"];

tens = ["zero","ten","twenty","thirty","forty","fifty","sixty","seventy","eighty","ninety"];

groups = ["", "thousand", "million", "billion", "trillion"];

function processThreeDigits(theString, theSuffix){
s = "";
if (theString.length > 2 && parseInt(theString[0]) > 0){
s = " " + lessThanTwenty[parseInt(theString[0])] + " hundred";
}
remainder = parseInt(theString%100,10);
if (remainder > 19){
s = s + " " + tens[Math.floor(remainder/10)];
ones = remainder%10;
if (ones > 0){
s = s + " " + lessThanTwenty[ones];
}
}else if (remainder > 0){
s = s + " " + lessThanTwenty[remainder];
}
if (s.length > 0) return s + " " + theSuffix;
return s;
}

outputString = "";

tempString = inputString;
groupIdx = 0;

while (tempString.length > 0){
outputString = processThreeDigits(tempString.substr(-3),groups[groupIdx]) + outputString;
tempString = tempString.substr(0,tempString.length-3);
groupIdx++;
}

outputString
