[SOLVED] ensure proper formatting for phone #?

That is because you need to escape them. Folks this is regex 101, please review the resources found here for regex usage information. It's simply a matter of trial and error. ;)

Please try the following.

[code:1]
/\([0-9]{3}\)[ ][0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}/
[/code:1]

thanks - i checked everywhere and spent a lot of time on it before I posted. That code doesn't work for me, unfortunately. why do you have to escape the parentheses and not the dash? Also, i assume the backslashes are supposed to disappear when you save the field?

The dash doesn't have a regex function so it does not need to be escaped. The backslashes are the regex expressions delimiter. In all regex tests the regex is valid and working, am not sure how well its usage would be in CB. Am not sure what more to advise, but the regex is correct.

ok, i finally got it - you have to escape the escapes for CB to save them properly - this is the correct code to insert into the PERL field:

[code:1]/\\([0-9]{3}\\)[ ][0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}/[/code:1]
