title: Create a numeric value from text
body: <p>I have searched allot on google without any results I am looking for</p>
  
  <p>I would like to get a numeric value from any string in C#</p>
  
  <p>Ex.</p>
  
  <pre><code>var myString = "Oompa Loompa";
  var numericoutput = convertStringToNumericValue(myString);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>output/value of <code>numericoutput</code> is something like <code>612734818</code></p>
  
  <p>so when I put in another string let say <code>"C4rd1ff InTernaT!onal is @ gr3at place#"</code>
  the int output will be something like <code>73572753</code>.</p>
  
  <p>The Values must stay constant, for example so if I enter the same text again of <code>"Oompa Loompa"</code> then I get <code>612734818</code> again.</p>
  
  <p>I thought maybe in the way of using <code>Font Family</code> to get the char index of each character, but I don't know where to start with this.</p>
  
  <p>The reason for this is so that I can use this number to generate an index out of a string with other data in it, and with the same input string, get that same index again to recall the final output string for validation.</p>
  
  <p>Any help or point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated</p>
