NAME

Parse::Number::ID - Parse number from Indonesian text

VERSION

version 0.03

SYNOPSIS

use Parse::Number::ID qw(parse_number_id);

my @a = map {parse_number_id(text=>$_)}
    ("12.345,67", "-1,2e3", "x123", "1.23");
# @a = [12345.67, -1200, undef, 1.23]

DESCRIPTION

This module parses numbers from text, according to Indonesian rule of decimal- and thousand separators ("," and "." respectively, while English uses "." and ","). Since English numbers are more widespread, it will be parsed too whenever unambiguous, e.g.:

12.3     # 12.3
12.34    # 12.34
12.345   # 12345

This module does not parse numbers that are written as Indonesian words, e.g. "seratus dua puluh tiga" (123). See Lingua::ID::Words2Nums for that.

VARIABLES

None are exported by default, but they are exportable.

$Pat (REGEX)

A regex for quickly matching/extracting number from text. It's not 100% perfect (the extracted number might not be valid), but it's simple and fast.

FUNCTIONS

None of the functions are exported by default, but they are exportable.

parse_number_id(%args) -> RESULT

Parse number from Indonesian text.
