Topic: number to words Posted: 31 Jan 2008 at 2:49pm
Hi,
I am facing a problem of converting numbers into words/english. The function ToWords() doesn't do what i need to do. for example, the value 135, ToWords function will translates into "one hundred thrity-five". But i want "one hundred and thirty-five". Is there anyway i can achieve it?

Can you insert the "and" yourself by parsing out the string and concatenating it in?

I would put it right before the last word in the string. Then test it to see what exceptions cause it not to work and add some if-then statements to account for these exceptions. And I would test the string first to make sure it includes the word "hundred" or "thousand" in it to see if "and" is necessary or not.
