[PD] Letter -> Number

[marius schebella]

you could use msgfile from zexy and write your transaltions into a textfile
a 1;
b 2;
c 3;
...
and then
[r letter]
  |
[rewind, find $1(
  |
[msgfile]
  |
[$2(
  |
[s number]

pool (thomas grill) also has dictionary lookup features. but I am not 
sure if any of these solutions is more elegant then select, and select 
is quite fast. how many letters do you have?
