>I need to determine if any combination of numbers formatted like this: 999-9999 is within a string. The string may have (999)999-9999 or 999-999-9999 or anything else, but it will always have 999-9999 (123-1234, 987-321-9382, etc). Any way to do that? Perhaps the string is:

Convert all numbers to digits 9 and then check.
With simple chrtran()
lcNumbers = '0123456789'
lcNewString = chrtran(m.lcString,m.lcNumbers, replicate('9',10))
? "999-9999" $ lcNewString
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
