    Default Advanced Find & Replace

    A client has changed their format for displaying phone numbers. Currently there
    are hundreds of listings in (XXX) XXX-XXXX format and they all need to be
    changed to XXX.XXX.XXXX. There *must* be a timesaving technique to scour the
    site and make the changes in one fell swoop. Can someone please lend a hand
    with this?

    TIA

    Turn on regular expressions.

    Find:
    \(({3})\)\s?-?\s?({3})\s?-?\s?({4})
    Replace:
    $1.$2.$3

    My favorite reference (that I used to learn) is:
    [url]http://www.visibone.com/regular-expressions/[/url]

    This reference is for what it calls "Javascript" regular expressions, however
    this would better be called Perl/Unix regular expressions.

    Also note that the implementation of regular expressions varies widely from
    application to application.
