It goes something like this: > to 000-000-0000 update my_table set my_field = concat(left(my_field, 3), '-', mid(my_field,4,3), '-', right(my_field,4)); > or (000) 000-0000 update my_table set my_field = concat('(', left(my_field, 3), ') ', mid(my_field,4,3), '-', right(my_field,4)); Regards, Sasa --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
