I have been attempting to solve the following problem:
I have a class, 'UsageDetail' which takes a CSV phone call record and inserts it into my database. One of the attributes, 'WirelessNumber' has dashes in it, ie: '989-555-1212'. I don't want to store the dashes in the db. I've rtfm over and over, but I haven't been successful in storing without the dashes. I've tried subtypes, but that didn't work. BTW, the values passed in to my constructor are not ONLY the 3-3-4 digit format, sometimes the wireless number is 2 digits, and my WirelessNumber attr. isa 'Str' currently. Also, I can't modify the value passed into my constructor, as it is used for many different tables. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Steve
