Re: trimming non-numerics

Use %xlate to change all but the digits into blanks, and then replace the blanks with "empty"

I was wondering how I could strip any non numberic characters from a set of numbers submitted via a html form. For example (504) 555-5555 would be 5045555555 or 504-555-5555 would be 5045555555 Like %trim does with spaces is there something to deal with non-numberics?
