Only numbers

Keeps only the digits in a value and merges them. Use it to reduce a phone number, a card reference, or an account code to bare digits, whatever punctuation and spacing it was stored with.

Syntax

{{onlyNumbers data format culture}}

Parameters

Name Type Required Description
Data Text Required The value to take the digits from.
Format Text Optional How the result is written. Your account's default number format is used when you leave it out.
Culture Text Optional The culture used to write the result. Your account's default is used when you leave it out.
Important: Every character that is not a digit is removed, and that includes the decimal point. A value of 16.99US merges as 1699, not 16.99. Do not use this on an amount of money: it will silently multiply what the reader sees by a hundred.
Note: To tidy up a number without changing its value, use Format number. To change the value, use Round.
Note: A value with no digits at all merges as nothing.

Examples

The examples below are based on the following sample content:

Call us back on {{onlyNumbers Contact.phone}}

A. The contact's phone field has the value (555) 123-4567

Call us back on 5551234567

B. The field has the value 16.99US

1699

The decimal point is a non-digit, so it is removed along with the letters.

C. The field has the value abc

Nothing is merged.
