Get Integer from number-string

Question

How can I convert words to numbers in JavaScript?

As an example is there a javascript/jQuery library/plugin that will take a string "one hundred and two" and return the int 102.

var myInt = stringToInt("one hundred and two");
console.log(myInt);
=> 102

I specifically require a string-to-number conversion and not number-to-string conversion. Suggested solutions have come up short:

While it should not be very difficult to do it yourself as an exercise, here's a script that does that

@JoeAustin try this. https://jsfiddle.net/g0vwy44n/1/ you will have to check in the console, as I have put some `console.log()`s in there – Dimitris Karagiannis Mar 13 '15 at 12:08
Nevermind. Works. Thank you – Joe Austin Mar 13 '15 at 12:08

@JoeAustin The alerts where returning `undefined`, because `stringToNum` was not returning anything. I corrected that here https://jsfiddle.net/g0vwy44n/2/ – Dimitris Karagiannis Mar 13 '15 at 12:11
