Words to numbers function?

I was wondering if there was a predefined function for converting a word into a number. An example:

Code: Select all

There are thirty-seven batches of wyg here.
I need to have the script send 37 to the mud instead of the word thirty-seven.
If anyone knows how to resolve this issue, please tell me! Thank you!

His function doesn't work for Mudlet, it was made for MUSH.

--> attempt to index global 'bc' (a nil value)

Is there a way to get around this?

you'll probably have to create any variables he uses inside a script.
