telephone number manipulation

Split can be your friend...

x= Split(orig, "-")
conv= "(" + x(1) + ") " + x(2) + " " + x(3)

If you want to accept multiple input formats, have a look at Regex:
http://www.regular-expressions.info/vb.html

If you want it in formula language:

x:= @Trim(@Split(orig; "-"));
conv:= "(" + x[1] + ") " + x[2] + " " + x[3];

Yes, I could have added it, but it's up to Mike to fit the code in. Just mentioned some options...

Hi

Maybe I shpuld have shared this with you before - could you indicate how to work you solutions into these statements: the TEM_CBK_PHN_NB and TEM_FAX_NB components are the telephone and fax numbers repectively

@ProperCase(PHP_ADR_LN1) + ",  " + @ProperCase(LOC_CD) +
@NewLine  + @ProperCase(PHP_ADR_LN2) +
@NewLine + TEM_CBK_PHN_NB +
@NewLine +  TEM_FAX_NB + "  " + "Fax"

Thank you for your help.  it looks like you all will get points on this one

As I expected: formula :-)

Instructions?
You take the keyboard, you type the I, then the .... C'mon man, think and try by yourself first!

Hint --- add these lines at least once:

tel:= @Trim(@Split(TEM_CBK_PHN_NB; "-"));
telf:= "(" + tel[1] + ") " + tel[2] + " " + tel[3];

and use telf instead of TEM_CBK_PHN_NB

Sorry Seif

I am a healthcare professional and a novice programmer at best - I learn to program by reading books and doing it on the job.  This is basic stuff for you but it's Greek to me since I lack formal IT training

Thanks

Apparently @ SPLIT is not an available function in Notes 5.0

Should I use @ left or @middle to parse the data as an alternative?

Thank You

Mike

As always these experts are very helpful.
