field masks

i'm getting into a time cruch to complete this project

the default telephone format based on my locale is not what i want

i'd pefer if all phone numbers were forced to look like

613.555.5555 ext xxxx

so, user enters 10 numbers it formats as above

user enters more than 10 the format assumes international

else error

how do i go about this in salesforce

i assume i use a validation rule

could some show me a rule they've used for this

thanks

You could make a trigger on the object and use regular expressions to pull out the digits from the input and change them to a "clean" format.
