ReferenceNumber

Ruby library for calculating reference number (viitenumero, referensnummer).

Original idea and code was gotten from Christian: http://snippets.aktagon.com/snippets/51-How-to-Calculate-a-reference-number-with-Ruby

Usage

Add this to your gem file:

gem "reference_number"

Example usage:

ReferenceNumber.new("1111").to_s
ReferenceNumber.new(1111).to_s

The above example prints out “11112”.

ReferenceNumber.new(1111, :zero_padding => true).to_s

The above example prints out zero padded reference number "00000000000000011112".

This example shows how to generate a series of reference number:

(1000..1023).to_a.each do |number|
  puts ReferenceNumber.new(number).to_s
end
