Mask Function TRUE/FALSE

[Gregery D Engle]

Anyone have a nice function like this?

a& = MASK("1234-567", "####-###")
a& = MASK("1:20:30 AM") , "H:MM:SS AMPM")

any ideas?

Thanks

Do you mean like this:

Format$(FindData.nFileSizeLow\1024,"#,###")

Or:

Format$(xyz,"hh:mm tt")


Format$ is built in...
OR did I miss something here?

Also used:
GetTimeFormat %LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, %TIME_NOSECONDS, st, "hh:mm tt", zText, 256

Where st is a SYSTEMTIME structure and placed into ASCIIZ variable "zText".

Scott,

I'm wanting something a little more advanced then the Format
command. I want to be able to have my own MASK controls
by using a simple function like this:

if MASK(sBuffer$, "###-##-####") then 
   msgbox "Social Security Number"
end if

if MASK(sBuffer$, "(###)-###-####" then
   msgbox "Phone Number"
end if

if MASK(sBuffer$, "MM-/DD-/YYYY" then
   msgbox "DATE"
end if

does that explain it better?

Thanks

You could writing something like that yourself using "regular exprssions" which are supported in PB/DLL 6
