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:
Parameters
NumberFormat
Specifies a format for the generated phone numbers. The default value of the parameter is XXX-XXX-XXXX.
You can specify any sting. The X character will transform to a random single digit. Other symbols will not transform and will be represented as they are.
 |
ReadyAPI considers the percent ("%") and closing parenthesis symbols as service symbols, so avoid using them when specifying the parameter. Otherwise, it causes errors. |
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.
