UPDATE table SET phone = (SKEEP(phone,’1234567890’)) Buddy From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Tom Hart Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2025 5:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [RBASE-L] - Phone number format No I'm current in Rbase 11 On Tue, Feb 18, 2025, 3:47 PM 'Karen Tellef' via RBASE-L <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Use one or a series of "SRPL", like this: UPDATE table SET phone = (SRPL(phone, '(', '', 0)) The second criteria is two quotes together with no space between. You could use that with the hyphens also. But if you're doing this in 6.5, I can't remember if 6.5 allowed you to do the two quotes to remove data, I think this was added in a later version If not, you might have to write a cursor thru each row and extract each chunk using SGET Karen On Tuesday, February 18, 2025 at 02:50:17 PM CST, Tom Hart <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: My database is over 20 years old and I finally retired so I'm updating my of database. When I originally put in phone numbers I put in as (123)-123-1234, then at some point later on I found format mask. I now want to correct all my phone numbers to just a string 1231231234. What would be the easiest way to accomplish this?
