Hi Does anyone know of a quick way to convert human (string) numbers to integers? I doesnt need to be too fancy - the simple integers up to ten ( 10 :) will do. Id prefer not to install a plugin or gem - so the solution is not native to rails the possibly a ''.collect'' type algorithm? Thanks for reading this!

Hi Jim - thanks - I came up with something similar - but using .index. Cant seem to figure out the different? Yours is more elegant with the leading ''zero'' though. Thanks!

What''s wrong with Hash ?
{ "one" => 1
"two" => 2
...
}
You can generate such hash easily and make it a constant.
WordToInteger["one"] => 1
