StrToInt
Function
Convert an integer string into an Integer value SysUtils unit
 function StrToInt ( IntegerString : string ) : Integer;
Description
The StrToInt function converts an Integer string, IntegerString such as '123' into an Integer.
 
It supports +ve and -ve numbers, and hexadecimal numbers, as prefixed by $ or 0x.
 
Note that for Delphi 7 and possibly other versions of Delphi, you may omit the 0 before the x for hexadecimal values.
Notes
The EConvertError exception is thrown if there are errors in IntegerString, such as trailing blanks, decimal points, invalid decimal or hexadecimal characters.

Example code : Catching string to integer conversion errors
var
  A : Integer;

begin
  // We will catch conversion errors
  try
    A := StrToInt('100 ');    // Trailing blanks are not supported
  except
    on Exception : EConvertError do
      ShowMessage(Exception.Message);
  end;

  try
    A := StrToInt('$FG');    // 'G' is an invalid hexadecimal digit
  except
    on Exception : EConvertError do
      ShowMessage(Exception.Message);
  end;
