Re: breaking down stream

[Henryla <henryla@...>]

I would use a table for breaking down the phone number

phoneTable = {
1 = "<regular _expression_ for country code 1>",
852 = "<regula _expression_ for country code 852>"
}

phoneNumber = "<phone number>"
for k,v in pairs(phoneTable) do
  s,e = string.find(phoneNumber,"^" .. tostring(k))
  if s then
    s,e,phones = string.find(phoneNumber,v)
    < do any process you want >
  end
end
