Wanting to change numbers to text - not what you think

General
1

I was stuck how to ask the question.

Say my payload is 09:14:10 (text)

I want to convert it to words.

So it would become
zero nine fourteen ten

I think I know how to do it, but it is a lot of typing.
Only because I don't want to re-invent the wheel, I thought I would ask.

This is what I've bashed together ITMT.

There are specific things as this is one of 3 nodes that do this.
(Maybe I should lean how to use the link call things.)
Anyway...

Have you tested that? There is another twnety, a tirty and a fity.

You posted some code, I asked if you had tested it.

7

Sorry

Yes, it works.

Maybe not all the words were spelt correctly.

I try to touch type and sometimes the fingers and keyboard are on different pages to where things are.

So I made a few mistakes. (I'm good at that.) :wink:

8

Yeah, finger miscoordination when I am trying to touch type.

(And I can't spell) :wink:

I'll go back and edit it now.

9

How did it pronounce twnety?

10

I honestly can't say.

I wrote it and tested it with the time as it was at time of testing.

Luckily that didn't happen so I can't say. But probably funnily. :wink:
Maybe like someone who had a bit too much to drink? :wink:

Testing software implies checking, as far as practical, all the possible routes through. You had not tested all the values so you had not properly tested it.

12

Agreed.

It is part of the learning curve. Of which I admit I am very much at the bottom/start.

It was more to get it out there as I had spent ...... 4 hours making it.
(Shame on me for not properly testing it, and wanting/thinking it is good for anyone anyway.)
It was a bit of a high I was on.

Sorry, I'm babbling now.
