    Question reformatting phone numbers (removing special characters "_,-,/, ,(,),etc..."

    I have a DB that uses a text field for phone numbers (very annoying) there is no validation. I want to reformat the entire DB and import it again using a standard format. Currently when I export the numbers I get several different formats. (e.g. (555) 555-5555, 555.555.5555, 555-555-5555, 555 555 5555, and others)

    How can I manipulate the exported data in order to remove all characters ("-", "(", ")", etc) and Spaces to get the numbers in this format XXXXXXXXXX, from there I know how to format the phone numbers.

    Thank you,

    Davesfcm
