Actually, setting the formatter behavior does work (it does allow you
to use setFormat: to set a format string). The remaining problem is
that I don't think NSNumberFormatter allows the arbitray digit-by-
digit formatting of numbers that you expect.

If you don't explicitly set a formatter behavior, you are probably
getting the newest behavior "NSNumberFormatterBehavior10_4", and -
setFormat: does require the older "NSNumberFormatterBehavior10_0"
behavior. That's why your string is being returned unchanged. As
far as the formatter is concerned, you have not set a format string.
Note also that in your most recently posted code, you set the
default behavior for the class *after* you allocate an instance.
You should either set the default behavior before creating an
instance, or set the behavior on the instance itself.
murat,
if I call:
phoneNumber = [BHUtility bhFormatNumberString:strippedNumber
withFormat:@"(###) ###-####"];
run
[Switching to process 6314]
Running…
Current language: auto; currently objective-c
2010-04-13 22:48:23.398 Formatter[6314:a0f] [4625] theString =

(gdb)
// +---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------

+ (NSString *)bhFormatNumberString:(NSString *)aNumberString
withFormat:(NSString *)aFormat
{
// THIS METHOD DOES NOT WORK
[NSNumberFormatter
setDefaultFormatterBehavior:NSNumberFormatterBehavior10_0];
NSNumberFormatter *numberFormatter = [[[NSNumberFormatter alloc]
init] autorelease];
// NSFormatter *numberFormatter = [[[NSNumberFormatter alloc]
init] autorelease];
[numberFormatter setFormat:aFormat]; // specify just positive
values format
NSInteger theInt = [aNumberString intValue];
NSNumber *theNum = [NSNumber numberWithInt:theInt];
NSString *theString = (NSString *)[numberFormatter
stringFromNumber:theNum];
NSLog(@"[4625] theString = %@", theString);
return theString;
// +---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------
+---------+---------+
}
I came up with a better work-aroundthat I posted to the forum. Take
a look at it, it really works very well, and is not limited to phone
numbers.
Thanks a million for trying to help me...
