Is there a way to convert number words to Integers?
integer, numbers, python, string, text
Solution
The majority of this code is to set up the numwords dict, which is only done on the first call.
def text2int(textnum, numwords={}):
if not numwords:
units = [
"zero", "one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight",
"nine", "ten", "eleven", "twelve", "thirteen", "fourteen", "fifteen",
"sixteen", "seventeen", "eighteen", "nineteen",
]
tens = ["", "", "twenty", "thirty", "forty", "fifty", "sixty", "seventy", "eighty", "ninety"]
scales = ["hundred", "thousand", "million", "billion", "trillion"]
numwords["and"] = (1, 0)
for idx, word in enumerate(units): numwords[word] = (1, idx)
for idx, word in enumerate(tens): numwords[word] = (1, idx * 10)
for idx, word in enumerate(scales): numwords[word] = (10 ** (idx * 3 or 2), 0)
current = result = 0
for word in textnum.split():
if word not in numwords:
raise Exception("Illegal word: " + word)
scale, increment = numwords[word]
current = current * scale + increment
if scale > 100:
result += current
current = 0
return result + current
print text2int("seven billion one hundred million thirty one thousand three hundred thirty seven")

Problem
I need to convert `one` into `1`, `two` into `2` and so on. Is there a way to do this with a library or a class or anything?
