Phone Number (%PHONE) Macro
The Phone Number macro is used to insert phone numbers into the strings generated by a data source using the Custom String data generator.
The macro is an analog of the Phone Number data generator.
Syntax
The macro is specified using the following regular expression:
%PHONE(NumberFormat)
Parameters
Examples
The following example demonstrates how to use the Phone Number macro:
tel:+1-%PHONE(XXX-XXX-XXXX)
Generates a URI to a phone number in the United States.
%PHONE(+X XXX-XXX-XXXX)
Generates phone numbers that start with
+.%PHONE(55X-XXX-XXXX)
Generates phone numbers that start with
55.%PHONE(xxx-xxx-xxxx)
The parameter is case-sensitive, so the
xsymbols will not be transformed to digits. This macro generates thexxx-xxx-xxxxstring.
