| Description |
Attempts to parse the Value string into a value between -2,147,483,648 and 2,147,483,647, returning a Int32 object with this value.
The Style parameter determines the allowed number content. It is an enumerated type that is treated as a set of flags (it has the [Flags] attribute). This means that multiple values may be set, using logical or. The possible values are :
| AllowCurrencySymbol | Allow for ?,$ ... |
| AllowExponent | E+000 format |
| AllowThousands | For example : 1,000,000 |
| AllowDecimalPoint | For example : 123.456 |
| AllowParentheses | For example (1234) |
| AllowTrailingSign | For example : 123- |
| AllowLeadingSign | For example : -123 |
| AllowTrailingWhite | Allow trailing blanks |
| AllowLeadingWhite | Allow leading blanks |
| AllowHexSpecifier | For example : 0x2bcd |
Note that not all of these allowances are meaningful for Int16 values.
The FormatProvider option allows for customised formatting and is beyond the scope of Delphi Basics.

| | Notes | Warning : An exception is thrown if the parse encounters unexpected characters.

end.

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
uses
System.Globalization;
var
style : NumberStyles;
intStr : String;
result : Integer;
begin
// Allow for hex values and leading/trailing blanks
style := NumberStyles.AllowLeadingWhite or
NumberStyles.AllowTrailingWhite or
NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier;
intStr := ' 12ABCDEF '; // Hex 12ABCDEF = 313249263
result := System.Int32.Parse(intStr, style);
Console.WriteLine('''' + intStr + ''' parses to {0}', result.ToString);
// Or more simply using one combined number style value
style := NumberStyles.HexNumber;
intStr := ' FFFFFF00 '; // Hex FFFFFF00 = -256
result := System.Int32.Parse(intStr, style);
Console.WriteLine('''' + intStr + ''' parses to {0}', result.ToString);
Console.ReadLine;
end.
