It seems likely that the description of a program of that nature would have "number" or "hundred" in its text. In the J wiki, searching for "number" in the text produces the "Number in Words" essay as the seventh hit; searching for "hundred" produces "Number in Words" as the top hit.
As I've told my friends before, in this age of Google, internet, Wikipedia, etc., my problem is not not remembering some fact or other, nor even looking up whatever I can not remember. No, my problem is not remembering what I was going to look up. (I am lying in bed at night. I have a great thought. I say to myself, I must look that up. The next morning I can not remember what I was going to look up; worse, sometimes I forget that I was going to look up something.) ----- Original Message ----- From: Kip Murray <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, September 3, 2009 12:44 Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] number to text To: Programming forum <[email protected]> > One more "Ask Roger": Roger, how do you search for references > like this one? > > Roger Hui wrote: > > http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Essays/Number%20in%20Words > > > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: Ian Gorse <[email protected]> > > Date: Wednesday, September 2, 2009 12:05 > > Subject: [Jprogramming] number to text > > To: Programming forum <[email protected]> > > > >> Sometime last year when I first looked at J, I found some J > code that > >> converts a number into a speech representation string > >> for example > >> > >> verb 123 > >> One Hundred and Three > >> > >> verb 1642 > >> One Thousand Six Hundred and Forty Two > >> > >> I can't remember where I saw it, I literally found it within > a > >> day or > >> two after hearing of J, and was testing what was possible in this > >> strange yet intriguing language I had stumbled upon, so it > could have > >> been any of the normal locations J code exists (pdf, mailing list > >> archives, wiki, labs) and sadly my search terms seem to be futile. > >> > >> > >> Does anybody know where I could find it? > >> > >> Thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
