You are right! I hope to input a number, for example 123, and output its
text "one hundred and twenty-three".
So, for 1.23456789012345678901, I want the result is "one point two three
four five six ...(something omitted)".
I can define a funciton, say "toText", to preform this action.
In ghci, I can use like this.
Prelude>toText 123.45
"one hundred and twenty-three point four five"
However, in this function, I have to read this number as String(originally
a number, now "123"), and make it to words(String) like "one two three".
But for a float number, it will not work very well.
Prelude>toText 1.23456789012345678901
"(a truncated answer)"
This confuses me!

as many digits of pi, i.e. 3.1415926535... as possible and save it in a
String, it will be perfect! I think something is still missing from your description. If you want to store the digits of pi in a string then why not use a
string? Oscar _______________________________________________
