| Subject | st: Change roman to Arabic numerals |
| Date | Fri, 17 Dec 2010 10:50:05 -0800 |
A colleague wants to generate Arabic numbers from Roman numerals and I was = wondering if anyone has written a routine for this. She only has I to X so= I suggested Gen numb=3D(rom=3D=3D"I")+2*(rom=3D=3D"2")+3*(rom=3D=3D"3")+4*(rom=3D=3D"4"= ) etc. This is OK for this application, but not if we have many numbers. Of course the ordering gets messed up - I, II, III, IV, IX, V, VI, VII, VIII, X so= encode won't work and gen numb=3Dreal(rom) won't do either. Happy holidays. Tony Peter A.
