Phone Number Format Issue 1

[Figzus]

Okay this probably seems like a really dumb question but I have no idea how to do it. How do you take a phone number like this 0123456789 and break it down into 3 differnt text boxes? I have a huge text box that it populates when the page loads Im just wandering how do I break it down into 3 different text boxes instead of using one giant one. Thanks

<%
Dim myPhoneNum
myPhoneNum = "0123456789"
%>
<input type='text' name='boxen1' value='<%= Left(myPhoneNum, 3)%>'>
<input type='text' name='boxen2' value='<%= Mid(myPhoneNum, 4,3)%>'>
<input type='text' name='boxen3' value='<%= Mid(myPhoneNum, 7)%>'>

Here's an example how to format a SSN, which can be easily adapted to a phone number:

Something like this you mean?

<%
Dim strNumber, strLeft, strMiddle, strRight

strNumber = "0123456789"

strLeft = Left(strNumber, 3)
strMiddle = Mid(strNumber, 4, 3)
strRight = Right(strNumber, 4)
%>

<input type="text" name="left" value="<%=strLeft%>" />
<input type="text" name="middle" value="<%=strMiddle%>" />
<input type="text" name="right" value="<%=strRight%>" />

You might want to add some extra error checking. For example checking for an empty phone number or one with only 7 digits or one where someone added the "1" in front for long distance... or rejecting numbers that are not the correct length or whatever.
