Hi,

This should be an easy one...

I have a 12-digit number and I would like it to appear as:
5555-5555-5555

What would be the best way to do this? The number is always 12 digits.

Thanks!

Thanks to all of you.

I wish I'd seen your reply earlier Michael - I spent a bit of time staring at it to figure out why it was acting odd. :)

And you're right Azadi - thanks!

I went back and tried something. It seems to be working so I'll go with that.

Thanks.

Typo alert:

You have part1 = left...
part2 = right...
part3 = mid...

so you need to concatenate the strings "part1" & "part3" & "part2" (132 rather than 123)

Hi Steve - I'm just not sure of how to use that function for this purpose. Thanks.

What do you mean by 'not getting anywhere'? Are you getting an error??

Thanks for trying but unfortunately I'm not getting anywhere with that.

If anyone knows how I could do this specifically it would really help out.

Thanks!

Use the left, mid, and right functions. Details are in the cfml reference manual. If you don't have one, the internet does.
