Question

I have a table with a bunch of phone numbers queried from a database. I want to insert hyphens into the phone number so instead of: “0000000000” the user will see: “000-000-0000”. Not very good at regex but this is what I’ve tried so far:

  $('.views-field-phone').each(function(){
      $(this).insertAfter(/(.{3})/g,"-1-")
      $(this).insertAfter(/(.{7})/g,"-1-")
  });

Answer 1

maybe not optimal but…

 string = string.substring(0,3) + '-' + string.substring(3,6) + '-' + string.substring(6,10);

or for your case…

$('.views-field-phone').each(function(){
      var string = $(this).html();
      $(this).html(string.substring(0,3) + '-' + string.substring(3,6) + '-' + string.substring(6,10)) 
});
