If you are wandering why...
>> parse str [ copy text to "485-7993"]
works fine, yet...
>> parse str [ copy text to [area-code | none] phone-num]
** Script Error: Invalid argument: area-code | none.
** Where: parse str [copy text to [area-code | none] phone-num]
bombs, this is because the words 'to, 'thru, and 'skip dont seem to work
with blocks. 'Any and 'some will operate with blocks. Myself still
being quite awkward at 'parse, I am still perplexed as to how solve your
particular problem.
