Format String as phone number in C#

Question

I have a string value 1233873600 in C# and I have to convert it to 123-387-7300 in C#

Is there any in-built function which will do that in c#?

Answer 1

将您的字符串转换为长字符串并使用格式"{0:### ### ####}" ;

string.Format("{0:(###) ###-####}", 1112223333);

Answer 2

string phone = "1233873600".Insert(6, "-").Insert(3, "-");

Answer 3

You can use a simple helper method that will take the string, sterilize the input in order to remove spaces or unwanted special characters being used as a separator, and then use the ToString method built-in. If you check for various lengths you can also assure the format comes out as you see fit. For example:

public string FormatPhoneNumber(string phoneNumber)
    {
        string originalValue = phoneNumber;

        phoneNumber= new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(@"\D")
            .Replace(phoneNumber, string.Empty);

        value = value.TrimStart('1');

        if (phoneNumber.Length == 7)

            return Convert.ToInt64(value).ToString("###-####");
        if (phoneNumber.Length == 9)

            return Convert.ToInt64(originalValue).ToString("###-###-####");
        if (phoneNumber.Length == 10)

            return Convert.ToInt64(value).ToString("###-###-####");

        if (phoneNumber.Length > 10)
            return Convert.ToInt64(phoneNumber)
                .ToString("###-###-#### " + new String('#', (phoneNumber.Length - 10)));

        return phoneNumber;
    }

I think regex is the best option.

this site is great for finding pre made regex strings.

You might want to use regex for this. The regex for North America phone number looks like this

^(\(?[0-9]{3}\)?)?\-?[0-9]{3}\-?[0-9]{4}$

I guess you can use Regex.Replace method in C#.

String Format didn't work for me, so I did:

string nums = String.Join("", numbers);
return nums.Insert(0, "(").Insert(4, ")").Insert(5, " ").Insert(9, "-");
