string manipulation for phone numbers

[mikemilano]

I would like to be able to accept phone numbers in various formats: 800-555-1212 800.555.1212 (800) 555-1212 (800)555-1212 and then format it to this: 800-555-1212 i created a function which strips out characters: ()- so now my number is: 8005551212 but how can i put the "-" back in there to make it 800-555-1212 ? thanks in advance!

Check out the String.Insert() method.... --------------------------- Hmmm... what's a signature?

Use String.Format().
