The regex pattern itself (for phone numbers) I > got off a Google search hit. The manual was not as explicit as it should have been. It should have said this in the intro to the Regular Expressions chapter: The syntax for patterns used in these functions closely resembles Perl. The expression should be enclosed in delimiters, for example a forward slash (/). Any non-alphanumeric character (other than backslash) can be used as the delimiter. If the delimiter character is used in the expression itself, it needs to be escaped by a backslash. The ending delimiter may be followed by various modifiers that affect the matching. The pattern modifiers are discussed in detail here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.modifiers.php Note that the UTF modifier (“u”) is not supported in Active4D.
