JavaScript function that formats a phone number according a user selected style. The function extracts all of the numbers from the tel string and tries to build a phone number. If the number of digits extracted is not 10, then the function will return an error.
tel (in) - phone number to be formatted
style (in) - the format to write the phone number as. The options for style are the following:
| style | format |
|---|---|
| 0 | No formatting |
| 1 | ###-###-#### |
| 2 | ###.###.#### |
| 3 | ### ### #### |
| 4 | (###) ###-#### |
| 5 | (###) ###.#### |
| 6 | (###) ### #### |
| 7 | +??#-###-###-#### |
| 8 | +??# (###) ###-#### |
| 9 | +??# (###) ### #### |
| 10 | +??# ### ### #### |
| 11 | +??#.###.###.#### |
| 12 | # ### ###-#### |
where # is a number
? is an optional number
If a valid phone number was created, it will be returned as a string. Otherwise, the string returned will be "*** ERROR ***" if the phone number could not be parsed. If an empty string is being parsed, the function will exit and return the empty string instead of the error message.
