Help with name (string) to number (numeric) program

[Jorquev]

I need to make a program where I can write a number on a numeric control and it will be displayed the name of the number on a string indicator.

example:

Write: 10, or 20, etc

See: Ten, or Twenty ,etc

And on the other hand write in words the number on a string controller, and display the number on a numeric indicator. 

example.

Write: Ten, or Twenty ,etc

See: 10, or 20 ,etc

Thanks for the help, greetings!

Hi Jorquev,

I need to make a program where I can write a number on a numeric control and it will be displayed the name of the number on a string indicator.

I suggest to setup a dictionary of all the words you want to support (how big can those numbers grow?). Then use some algorithm to convert the numeric value into strings picked from your dictionary…

And on the other hand write in words the number on a string controller, and display the number on a numeric indicator. 

This basically works the same: look for the input words in your dictionary to convert them back to numeric values.
 

Thanks for the help, greetings!

What have you tried so far?

Where are you stuck?

This is a great job to learn basic LabVIEW programming: is this some kind of homework?

There's an app for [half of] that!  Install the OpenG string library from VIPM.

I hope it's not homework.  Jim gave him the answer.
