Well, you can always convert each character of the string to a Byte
with Val:
}

var B : array[1..255] of Byte;
S : string;
I,N : integer;

for I := 1 to Length(S) do
Val(S[I],B[I],N);

{
That presumes you can validate/have validated that all characters in
the string are numeric digit characters, of course...
