Does anyone have a way to do a phone number field for CB such that when a user is creating an account and is asked to put in a phone number, that the field is formatted? Like so:

( ) -

so they just start typing numbers and they fit into that template in the field above?

Since there is an "email address" in the "Type" drop down, I was hoping there would be a type for phone number. No luck.

I was looking at doing a text field, then I used Expresso to come up with a Perl regex:

\((?<AreaCode>\d{3})\)\s*(?<Number>\d{3}(?\s*)\d{4})

But that's not quite what I wanted. Any ideas? Surely someone must already be doing this for a phone number field.

Thanks a bunch.

Ehem...just renewed my doc subscriber account. Didn't realize it had expired.

Any help?

Hi me, it's me again. Wow this effort really paid off.

Sorry for the delay, sometimes posts are missed among the many threads created daily. The only way to accomplish a phone number field is with a Text field and regex, which is what you've already done. The following regex should be sufficient for your needs.



The above expression will match 3334445555, 333.444.5555, 333-444-5555, 333 444 5555, (333) 444 5555 and any combination's of the previous.
