Message formatting is hard with Exchange WebMail (sucks) but here is a method
we use to strip out the garbage and then submit the different parsed values for
area code, number and extension.
/** assumes the phone number is "(111) 222- 3333 extension 444" which we
reduce to 1112223333444 and then split up */
public void setFullPhoneNumer( String value )
{
if ( value != null )
{
/** remove everything except numbers */
String reduced = value.replaceAll("^1|\\D+",
Const.EMPTY_STRING);
int len = reduced.length();
if ( len >= 10 )
{
validateTakeValueForKeyPath( reduced.substring( 0, 3 ),
"phoneAreaCode" );
validateTakeValueForKeyPath(
reduced.replaceAll("^(\\d{3})(\\d{3})(\\d{4})(\\d*)", "$2$3"), "phoneNumber");
// this will insert a dash in the phone number, depends
how you want to store the value
//
reduced.replaceAll("^(\\d{3})(\\d{3})(\\d{4})(\\d*)", "$2-$3"), "phoneNumber");
if ( len > 10 )
validateTakeValueForKeyPath( reduced.substring(
10 ), "phoneExtension" );
}
else
throw new NSValidation.ValidationException( "Invalid
phone number" );
}
}

Subject: Re: Anyone have a phone number formatter?
If you just want output formatting (and not input parsing), it can be
as simple as this:
public StringBuffer format(Object object, StringBuffer
stringBuffer, FieldPosition fieldPosition)
{
if (object instanceof Number)
{
stringBuffer.append(((Number)object).intValue() == 2 ?
"Y" : "");
}
return stringBuffer;
}
/**
* @throw RuntimeException parseObject is not implemented
*/
public Object parseObject(String arg0, ParsePosition arg1)
{
throw new RuntimeException("parseObject is not implemented");
}
This is an output formatter that takes a number formats this to "Y"
if the value is 2 and to an empty string for all other values. Don't
ask, legacy data.
