Why not simply format them on output?

How about: UPDATE tablename SET columnname = ((SGET(columnname,3,1)) + '-' +
(SGET(columnname,3,4)) + '-' +
(SGET(columnname,4,7)))
?

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Changing formats in a column
Just purchased a new mailing list. Phone numbers are text ie: 1234567890
Want to re-format them to read 123-456-7890
Cannot figure how to change them in mass, rather than running an eep
using a routine of SGET's on a very large table.
Any ideas?
