How do i convert this
NumberToDial : String;
to this
NumberWritten : DWORD;
Thanks!

put a string like "800-555-1212" into a 4-byte integer, it won't
fit. 4-byte unsigned integers run from 0 to a bit over
4000000000. Even if you try to exclude invalid phone numbers
like "000-000-0000," you won't be able to pack it all into the
integer.
If you just want to strip out non-digit characters, you can use
a loop like this:
function DigitsOnly(const sText: string): string;
var
iChar: Integer;
iBuf: Integer;
begin
iBuf := 0;
SetLength(Result, Length(sText));
for iChar := 1 to Length(sText) do
begin
case sText[iChar] of
'0'..'9':
begin
Inc(iBuf);
Result[iBuf] := sText[iChar];
end;
end;
end;
SetLength(Result, iBuf);
end;

I've already stripped out stuff
it looks like 18005551212.
I see a function StrToInt64Def.
But I'm not clear of terminology
is a Dword 32 or 64 or what?
Thanks!

DWord is 32 bit.

If the string fits in a DWord, use StrToIntDef, or StrToInt64Def and use
the lower DWord of that (just and with $FFFFFFFF).

If you want a 32 bit representation of a string then
get one of the freely available CRC32 implementations.
HyperString Library has one for Delphi. You can download
from Torry's page:
http://homepages.borland.com/torry/text.htm
just search the page for HyperString of EFD Systems

If i 'F1' on Dword, this comes up:
.
type DWORD = Longword;
From there, when i click on SEE ALSO or search for Longword,
'Integer types' comes up:
.
Cardinal 0..4294967295 unsigned 32-bit
Longword 0..4294967295 unsigned 32-bit
How do i make the leap (via documentation) that says dword = longword =
integer
therefore, 'StrToIntDef' is what i am after?
Thanks!.

Indeed.
But, Vern and Grinder, please don't quote entire messages.

If you're in Delphi 3 or earlier, this is basically true, since D3-
did not support unsigned 32-bit integer.
In Delphi 4 and higher, the types Cardinal, dword and longword are
UNsigned integers (0..4giga); whereas integer and longint are SIGNED
integers (-2giga... 2giga).
(I've been clamouring before to have delphi support the clear type
names Int16/Int32 and UInt16/UInt32 since it is certainly not obvious
that 'longword' and 'longint' hold the same number of bits but the
difference is in the signed thing.

No, it looks to me like you need StrToInt64(Def) to hold your 10-digit
phone numbers (you may also need to consider the requirements of
international access codes? in that case you might run up several
additional digits).

Let us be precise.
LongInt and LongWord are 32-bits.
Integer and Cardinal are the natural size of an integer. In a future
release, I fully expect them to grow to be 64 bits.
DWORD is whatever Microsoft deems it to be, as translated by Borland. I
don't know if DWORD will be 32 bits or 64 bits in a 64-bit Windows OS
of the future.

On a side note to these names, what do you think should
happen when 64- and 128- bit integers become the norm?
We call those "DoubleLongInt" and "QuadrupleLongInt"? <g>
[just to have a delphi native typename which fits in the sequence]

Natural for whom? I think that 64-bit hardware and OS would
be a prerequisite.

if they *dare* to redefine DWORD I'm going to ...
<gurgle of self-censorship>
... be disappointed.
