Special Charcters
Posted: Thu Feb 25, 2010 1:47 pm
I have an input column called the Telephone field which is varchar. It has data such as below:
Telephone
(999) 999 9999
999-999-9999
999 999 9999
999/9999999
999*9999999
How can I strip off all these special characters and just keep the numbers? I want a format like 9999999999.
I know I can strip the white space off but how should I deal with the other characters?
