Hi Dave, <br /><br />I feel this is nothing to do with Liferay. You can split the string that is stored in the database as 10 digits and show them on the front-end the way you want using <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/NumberFormat.html">NumberFormat</a> utility. <br /><br />Yours truly, <br /><strong>Ahamed Hasan</strong><br />Author, <a href="http://mpowerglobal.com/download-cookbook">Liferay Portlet Cookbook</a>

Is there any easy way of retrieving the three parts of a 10 digit US phone number?<br />Paypal requires the phone number t be sent as three separate parts when a USA number but I cannot work out how to do this from the lIferay API and use of phoneNumberFormats. For instance will liferay always store as (123)-456-7890 if 10 digits provided or 456-7890 if only 7?<br />If so I can easily process those strings!
