Re: Postal address layouts?

[David Wetzel]

Hi,

each address should have a format. The format may be different in each country.
A good application could have bundles or format defines for each country.

Telefone numbers are also an issue. The Germans write

(03 30 56) 8 28 34
in France this would be
033.05.68.28.34 (I am not sure about the zero)
US numbers are like that:
033-056-828-34

you should store it as +49 33056 82834.
There is a parser for phone numbers on Lutz Donnerhacke's home page.
