How to change alphabetical phone numbers into numeric form?

1 New Member
I need this as basically as possible. This got sprung on me with only two days to work on it, and I really just don't have the time. All I need is to figure out how to write a program to change the alphabetical number (ex. 1-800-FLOWERS) into the numeric version (1-800-356-9377). Again, I really don't know much about this, the simpler the better! Any required programs would be helpful too. I've tried netbeans but it doesn't seem to compile as well. Thank you!

Every letter is a specific number (the reverse is not true) so a simple look-up table (array) holding the number for each letter and a simple substitution algorithm should solve this problem.
