Re: Number to Words Conversion - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi,

You can use what bruce has suggested and get the value you want.

eg.

select trim(substring(cash_words('1520'), 1, position('dollars' in cash_words('1520'))-1));

will return you

One thousand five hundred twenty (But ofcourse this eg. does not work for decimals)

We have cash_words:

        test=> SELECT cash_words('100');
                     cash_words
        ------------------------------------
         One hundred dollars and zero cents
        (1 row)

but that is money-oriented.
