Example
When creating an instance, you define a separator of number positions, minimal and maximal number of number positions and maximal number of digits in a single positon.
DottedText dt = new DottedText( 4, 4, 3);
var i = dt.ParseLong("1.718.4.88");
//result: i = 100 718 400 880
DottedText dt = new DottedText( 3, 3, 2);
var i = dt.Parse("1.71.4");
//result: i = 107 140
