How to convert any string to an unique number?

My goal is to create an unique ID that is a number so that I can use dbms_parallel_execute.

e.g.

I have an ID of the format

"146-210-57-221-233-35-13-79-190-180-225-6-46-132-227-104-159-157-187-208"

another example

col1=04-DEC-15 10.10.41.000000000 PM timestamp

col2=CLS

col3=A178082152

These three attribute define the uniqueness of my source.

So I try to create a surrogate key which is a number base on that

and then use dbms_parallel_execute.
