murat, if I call: phoneNumber = [BHUtility bhFormatNumberString:strippedNumber withFormat:@"(###) ###-####"]; run [Switching to process 6314] Running… Current language: auto; currently objective-c 2010-04-13 22:48:23.398 Formatter[6314:a0f] [4625] theString = (1234567890) - (gdb) // +---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+ + (NSString *)bhFormatNumberString:(NSString *)aNumberString withFormat:(NSString *)aFormat { // THIS METHOD DOES NOT WORK [NSNumberFormatter setDefaultFormatterBehavior:NSNumberFormatterBehavior10_0]; NSNumberFormatter *numberFormatter = [[[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init] autorelease]; // NSFormatter *numberFormatter = [[[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init] autorelease]; [numberFormatter setFormat:aFormat]; // specify just positive values format NSInteger theInt = [aNumberString intValue]; NSNumber *theNum = [NSNumber numberWithInt:theInt]; NSString *theString = (NSString *)[numberFormatter stringFromNumber:theNum]; NSLog(@"[4625] theString = %@", theString); return theString; // +---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+ } I came up with a better work-aroundthat I posted to the forum. Take a look at it, it really works very well, and is not limited to phone numbers. Thanks a million for trying to help me...
