Convert pinyin to pinyin with numbers?

[Friday]

I have some text, entirely in pinyin (with tone marks) and I'd like to convert it to pinyin (with numbers). How can I do this? And without making mistakes like this:

bàn​gōng​shì --> bang4ōngshi5

Just out of curiosity, why would you want to do that?

Don't know about the OP, but I always prefer tone numbers over tone marks. This way I don't have to squint my eyes to make sure I got the tone mark right (which are usually awfully small). Tone colors is an even better solution.

though as with your example this does seem to want spaces between the pinyin if it's going to convert it correctly.

If you're doing this from an original 汉字 format the simplest thing would be to add spaces to that document before converting to toned pinyin and then switching to the numbered format...!

Seems like a nuisance, but the free software DimSum downloadable from the same mandarin tools website that lets you do a lot of these things - so you can drop a text into it and convert it directly to numbered pinyin (though settings) or use the built in pinyin converter, though same as on the site so probs...

I see. Thanks.

Now, to complete the list of cross-modal systems of indicating tonal information, all that is needed is some sort of scratch-'n-sniff system...
