Do they need to be unique? What will you use the key for? You can use the hash code if it doesn't need to be unique.

Why do you want an int value for it? What are your requirements? There looks like there's more than 32 bits of information in that string -- what makes you think that you can represent it as an int? What are you trying to do? What is your goal?

Should the integer value be equal to 123456? You should describe

your requirements a bit more clearly.

kind regards,

So you don't want to get an integer. You want to get a string with only digits? You can use replaceAll in that case.
