code for user entered "1,234.55" prints out One Thousand Two Hundred ect....Please

[cspenny]

i'm a beginner trying to write a check writing program where the user enters the numbers ( 1,2,5 ect...) and the program writes the check ( one , two, five ect...).
but I can' figure out how to identifiy the first number in a string of text. then the second Number in text and so on.
all help is greatly appreciated.
thanks!!!!

Try this (where TextString is the variable or object holding the number, and the array Numbers() holds the individual numbers):

Dim Numbers(), temp As Integer
For i = 0 to Len(TextString) - 1
temp = Mid(TextString, i, 1)
If IsNumeric(temp) Then
Numbers(i) = temp
End if
Next i

This will place each individual number into it's respective slot in the array, while filtering out anything that isn't a number. For example, if TextString is "9,264.56", then the array will hold this data:

Numbers(0) = 9
Numbers(1) = 2
Numbers(2) = 6
Numbers(3) = 4
Numbers(4) = 5
Numbers(5) = 6

Hope this helps!
