I'm trying to figure out a way (or find a library) that supports long money string conversion into a decimal. I'm not sure if there's a practical way to do this with all the possible combinations.

Basically, I would need to convert something like two hundred and thirteen dollars and fifty-two cents into 213.52

Does anybody know of a library that handles this already or a solution that has already been posted? I've Googled for about an hour and came up with turning dollar amounts in words.

You may try WordToNumberConverter NuGet

But you should be sure input matching the format.

Example of right input : "twenty nine thousand and fifty five"

while

Example of wrong input : "twenty nine thousands and fifty five"

How to use:

    WordToNumberConverter.WordToNumberConverter inst = 
        new WordToNumberConverter.WordToNumberConverter();

    var ddd = inst.ConvertWordToNumber("twenty nine thousand and fifty five");

Humanizer should be able to help you with this and more. You can try the following link "https://github.com/Humanizr/Humanizer#number-to-words". It is quite simple to use as you can see in the example

1.ToWords() => "one"
10.ToWords() => "ten"
11.ToWords() => "eleven"
122.ToWords() => "one hundred and twenty-two"
3501.ToWords() => "three thousand five hundred and one"
