Thanks for your help everyone! All these solutions are great! Joanna, that's a very good point about international numbers. However at this point I can get away with not worrying about it... whew! It definitely sounds a lot more complicated.

So if you put a checking routine to web form (for example) don't assume all phone numbers have same length as yours... This has happened with some websites and it's extremely annonying ... :( For example here in Finland.. Local numbers are between 5 to 9 digits Area codes are 2 or 3 digits (from 02 to 019) International prefix for us is 358 (I think?) For example: (# represents any number, expect 1st can't be zero, I could give real working numbers but I'm not sure owners of those phones would like if i did so :-) 09 ######## 014 ###### When giving these to foreign people country code is added and Zero dropped. 358 9 ######## 358 14 ###### So it can be anything between 8 to 12 digits, and you can't tell area code apart without knowing local system. And above does not take mobile numbers into account (those usually have two digit area code 04, then 1-2 digit Operator code, then 5-8 numbers) Joanna -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes. -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes.
