Better ask a life-long native that was around when these formats came into
play.

Well observed. Aussies can be *way* to polite to tell someone when they're
being rude, so, yeah, they might not complain about a little thing that
they can live with.

Re: Request : Text utilities

[Alan Chan via 4D_Tech]

We have been formatting Australia phone number like

(2) 3456 7899
434 567 899

Are these acceptable by Australian? So far, we haven't got any complaint (may 
be they're too nice to say anything).

TIA

Re: Request : Text utilities

[Chip Scheide via 4D_Tech]

it could be useful.  I have used renamer (or something similar - don't 
remember the name) on occasion.
I don t know that I want to get as involved as that app, but a simple 
file renamed utility could be done.


Which feature(s)? I think:
allow
- Drag n drop a selection of files or folders
or
-open/select dialog to select 1 or more files or folders

-add an extension to all (changing the existing one if there dis one)
-add a '_- plus a number
-replace an existing (filename portion) string with something else 
(including "")
-replace filename with a base string + number
-add a date
-upper/lower case file name
-variations on CamelCase file names
-insert specified character(s) at specified location

Australian's have special needs, it's due to our convict past.

That's a huge subject, and there are services out there for it. A couple of
quick links if you want to start from scratch:

https://support.twilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/223183008-Formatting-International-Phone-Numbers
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_conventions_for_writing_telephone_numbers

Note that local custom varies. For example, Australia has two digit area
codes, like 02, 03, 04 and so on. But 04 is special...all mobile phones
start with 04. Land lines are normally written like this:

02 3456 7899

Mobiles are normally (but not invariably) written like this:

0434 567 899

So, 2-4-4 versus 4-3-3.Or not.
