Numeric amounts in Spanish

[ojedapaco]

Greetings...

I'm searching for directions in translating numeric money amounts into spanish text:

$250 = doscientos cincuenta

Any help would be appreciated!

You could use a table/database which has primary values and their written equivalent. Such as:

amount: 1 spanish: "uno" english: "one"

amount: 50 spanish: "cincuenta" english: "fifty"

amount: 200 spanish: "doscientos" english: "two hundred"

amount: 300 etc

For example, with my_amount = $250. Use calculations, such as:

Integer(my_amount/ 100) ; relational lookup of result would give "doscientos"

Modulo(my_amount/100) ; would give "cincuenta"

Perhaps this is one method which could be expanded on!

All the best.
