Many Thanks Dwight.
I will try to execute this nice function in Powerswitch.
I don't known where, but I will find and keep you in touch for results.
Many Thanks once again.
Thierry.
The function below will convert Roman numbers to Arabic.
[code]function toarabic( num : String )
{
var vals = { 'I':1, 'V':5, 'X':10, 'L':50, 'C':100, 'D':500, 'M':1000 };
num = num.toUpperCase().replace( /[^IVXLCDM]/g, '' ).replace( /VV/g, 'X' ).replace( /LL/g, 'C' ).replace( /DD/g, 'M' );
var bits = [], i = 0, j = 0, k, l, n = num.length, last = 9999, rep = 0, sum = 0, valid = 1;
for ( ; i < n; i++ ) {
if ( !( bits[j] = vals[ num.charAt(i) ] ) ) {
valid = 0; break;
}
if (j > 0) {
k = bits[j];
l = bits[j - 1];
if( k === (l * 5) || k === (l * 10) ) {
bits[--j] = k - l;
}
}
j++;
}
if ( valid ) {
for ( i = 0; i < j; i++ ) {
k = bits[i];
sum += k;
if( (last < k) || (rep > 1 && last == k) ||
(last == k && k != 1 && k != 10 && k != 100 && k != 1000) ||
last == k * 4 || last == k * 9 || last * 4 == k * 9 || last * 5 == k * 9 ) {
valid = 0; break;
}
rep = (last == k) ? rep + 1 : 0;
last = k;
}
}
return sum;
}[/code]

Hello,
I'm looking for a function or syntax or regular expression in Powerswitch (09 or 10) to rename jobs with roman number into arabic/numeric number : for example jobs like job_00I job_0II job_III job_0IV to job_001 job_002 job_003 job_004.
If anyone have a good idea or a way to solve my problem, I would appreciate.
Many Thanks.
Thierry.
