Along with being a gem, WordyNumber is a command line application that reads from files specified as command-line arguments or STDIN when no files are given. Each line of the file is suppose to contain a single phone number.
For every phone number read, the gem outputs all possible word replacements from a dictionary. It tries to replace every digit of the provided phone number with a letter from a dictionary word; however, if no match can be made, a single digit will be left as is at that point. No two consecutive digits will remain unchanged and the program skips over a number (producing on output) if a match cannot be made.
All punctuations and whitespaces are ignored in both phone numbers and the dictionary file. Also, the program is not case sensitive.
Output is in capital letters with words and digits separated with a single dash (-).
For example, if the program is fed the number:
2255.63
One possible line of output is:
CALL-ME
According to the default dictionary.
The number encoding on the phone, the program uses is:
| Digit | CHARACTERS |
|---|---|
| 2 | A,B,C |
| 3 | D,E,F |
| 4 | G,H,I |
| 5 | J,K,L |
| 6 | M,N,O |
| 7 | P,Q,R,S |
| 8 | T,U,V |
| 9 | W,X,Y,Z |
