[saml]

Has anyone he done this, such as for a check?

 

$100.00

to

One Hundred dollars and no cents.

A quick google search found this script for writing out whole numbers. I'm sure it could be modified to split a dollar value into dollars and cents, run each through the provided functions and then join them on the back end and add in the currency lingo.

Using the link Eric supplied and making a few modifications, you should be able to try something like this:

 

function d1(x) { // single digit terms
   switch(x) {
       case '0': n= ""; break;
       case '1': n= " One "; break;
       case '2': n= " Two "; break;
       case '3': n= " Three "; break;
       case '4': n= " Four "; break;
       case '5': n= " Five "; break;
       case '6': n= " Six "; break;
       case '7': n= " Seven "; break;
       case '8': n= " Eight "; break;
       case '9': n= " Nine "; break;
       default: n = "Not a Number";
       }
   return n;
   }

function d2(x) { // 10x digit terms
   switch(x) {
       case '0': n= ""; break;
       case '1': n= ""; break;
       case '2': n= " Twenty "; break;
       case '3': n= " Thirty "; break;
       case '4': n= " Forty "; break;
       case '5': n= " Fifty "; break;
       case '6': n= " Sixty "; break;
       case '7': n= " Seventy "; break;
       case '8': n= " Eighty "; break;
       case '9': n= " Ninety "; break;
       default: n = "Not a Number";
       }
   return n;
   }

   switch(x) {
       case '0': n= " Ten "; break;

Step thanks so much for the quick response, I'm not at work at this moment but will try it first thing in the morning. I apologize for what seems very simple for most on this forum but I do this a secondary function to my job, most of the time I get it but on the occasions I don't I rely on this forum.

Step this worked great. Your the best!
