5.6 Numeric String Processing

5.6.1 Overview

Legato provides a wide variety of functions to aid in handling various types and formats of numbers and numbering styles. These including accounting, currency, hexadecimal, as well as other types of numeric data. This section covers those functions. In addition, functions such as the FormatString function can be used for numeric conversion.

Accounting formatting includes processing commas and currency such as adding and removing commas, e.g. “1000” versus “1,000”. Note that Legato principally supports US currency conventions.

Hexadecimal processing is provided for basic conversion and for array conversion or blocks of data. The output functions are substantially more flexible than the FormatString function.

Cardinal number processing allows for conversion of integers to and from textual presentations, for example, “eleven thousand” to 11,000 and vice-versa. Additional string processing can be performed to change the case and formatting of the numbers

Letter counting is also provided to convert simple or complex numbers such as ‘A’ for 0 and ‘AA’ for 26. This also includes “cell addressing” for spreadsheets such as “B17”, the second column on the 17th row.

Finally, there are functions to express approximate numbers, such as 34,567 as 34kb.
