+billybobclaire Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 How do you convert a letter to Numbers example: E=the second letter of the first word on the sign Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 There are literally millions of possible ways. Can you clarify a bit what you are trying to accomplish? I have a cache that uses a simple substitution based on the sign. Quote Link to comment
+webscouter. Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Many retailers use CHARLESTON as their substitution. They use this on shelf labels to show the cost of an item. Quote Link to comment
+ADTCacheur Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 get the ASCII code for the letter, then count it as a binary number and do a binary-to-decimal transfer. If you want to be mean. Quote Link to comment
+ncfinn Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 One simple way: Say the sign is Charleston. Take,for example, the second letter on the sign, in this case H. H is the 8th letter in the English alphabet. So you get 8. Quote Link to comment

H is the 8th letter in the English alphabet. So you get 8. Or it could be 4 because the letter H is on the 4 key on the phone. Quote Link to comment
