What about extensions .... or do you put those in a seperate field
(assuming a "," delay will not work for some reason.

I'm (obviously) not from the US, but I would think that unless you are
using an auto-dialer, the whole question of the leading "1" could be
resolved by the human using the data (hmm, except faxes .... and then
if you had a branch in the Florida Keys and another in Orange County,
then you would need to be location aware for the faxer).

If there are that many "exceptions to the rule" ... or, use something
like skype .... same dialing conventions from/to anywhere :-)

you'd be better learning regular expressions for complete validation
of anything anywhere

I would create a table of masks for each area you want to handle, so that
you could try to match the phone numbers using the mask of that particular
area.

I seem to remember how easy it was to take input dates and validate them in
basic.
Does anyone recall something like

input x
x=iconv(x,'d2/')
if x not matches("2n'/'2n'/'2n') then
gosub 100;* fail
end else
value=x
end

can anyone provide the same method for editing a string and returning a
phone number?

I remember when our number was 50787.
