If you mean turning "one" into 1, you'd need a lookup table. If you mean turning "1" into 1, you need tonumber().

Also, there is something called coercion. Coercion in Lua basicly implies a type change during things like (addition | subtraction | division | multiplication).
EX:
> =( 1 + '1' + "1" )
3

Seems like the forums didn't alert me to a new post...)

Do you want each word to become a random number?
