{
    istringstream converter(MyString); // Holds the string.
    int result;                        // Holds the integer result.

    // Perform the conversion.
    converter >> result;//from ww w.  j  a  v  a2  s .c  om
    return result;
}

string EnterOnlyNumbers()
{
    string numAsString = ""; // Holds the numeric string.
    char ch = getch();       // Obtains a single character from the user.

    // Keep requesting characters until the user presses Enter.
    while (ch != '\r')  // \r is the enter key
    {
        // Add characters only if they are numbers.
        if (ch >= '0' && ch <= '9')
        {
            cout << ch;
            numAsString += ch;
        }

        ch = getch();
    }
    return numAsString;
}

string EnterPassword()
{
    string numAsString = ""; // Holds the password string.
    char ch = getch();       // Obtains a single character from the user.

    while (ch != '\r')  // \r is the enter key
    {
