all characters has its on code, ASCII? I think, anyhow, in the code above, it specified that if the code of the numbers entered is between 0 and 9 then, it exits the loops, or else (its not a number) it keeps asking for input.

it doesnt work i even tried changing the code like this:
code:

var key : string (1)
var num : string := ""
put "Enter your phone number"
loop
getch (key)
exit when ord (key) >=48 or ord(key)<=57
end loop
for a : 1 .. 10
    getch (key)
    cls
    put "Enter your phone number"
    num += key
    put num ..
    if a mod 3 = 0 and a not= 9 then
        num += "-"
        put "-" ..
    end if
end for

to prevent not entering letters:
code:

var key : string (1)
var num : string := ""
var a := 1
put "Enter your phone number"

loop
    getch (key)
    cls
    if ord (key) >= 48 and ord (key) <= 57 then
        put "Enter your phone number"
        num += key
        put num ..
        if a mod 3 = 0 and a not= 9 then
            num += "-"
            put "-" ..
        end if
        a += 1
    else
        put "Enter your phone number"
        getch (key)
    end if
    exit when a > 9
end loop
