Our application tracks contact information. One of our clients, a car
dealership, has asked about being able to enter a lastname and phone number
and getting as much of the main form filled out as possible, "Hi, thanks for
stopping by Demaux Motors. Before we get started, can I get your phone
number, please? Oh, HI Joe, you still live on Gingerbread lane..?" etc etc
etc. Filling out the form is easy - sql query, javascript, blah blah blah -
getting the data is another. My question is three-fold:
1: I know that if you go to Google and type a phone number, you'll get a
query result back with address, city, state, etc. The documentation for the
Google APIs are written for .NET...anyone have any experience with those
APIs in classic ASP?
2: Is there some other service that provides this same functionality?
3: Any other ideas?

So you're talking about for anyone in the world (or your country or
whatever)? Not people who have already been to your site and given you
their personal details? I personally would be a little freaked out if a
site that I hadn't been to before started telling me where I live and what
my cats' names are and all that. But, as far as using Google, maybe you can
start here. http://www.google.com/apis/
I don't know of any online directory services offer a connector service that
you can use in your site, but I'd imagine at least one of them does.

p.s. You could probably "screen scrape" results from a site that uses GET
for its info lookup, such as: http://www.whitepages.com/search/Rev...&phone=8675309
You may want to let them know you're doing it first though or ask them if
it's okay...

You will only get public information. Unlisted numbers will not return. http://infospace.com/ http://anywho.com/ http://reversephonedirectory.com/ http://switchboard.com/ http://555-1212.com/ http://www22.verizon.com/reverselookup/ http://www.primeris.com/fonefind/ http://mobilephoneno.com/ http://whitepages.com/phone-lookup

No, nothing like that. This is for an application in use with a car
dealership ~ with the customer present ~ and starting the car buying
process, so the information is already mostly in hand.
As far as the google apis are concerned, I've downloaded them but they're
written for .NET. I was wondering if there was any documentation out there
for dotCLASSIC. <rant>There are still people in the world who haven't moved
to .NET, for cryin' out loud.</rant>

Hello everyone!
First, I appologize if this posting isn't proper "netiquette" for this
group.
I've been working with perl for almost 2 years now. However, my regular
expression knowledge is pretty limited. I wrote the following expression to
take (hopefully) any _reasonable_ phone number input, and format it as
(999) 999-9999 x 9999.

I'm curious if there are others who have a better method of
accepting/parsing phone numbers. I've used a couple of different techniques
that are functional but I can't really say that I'm totally happy with
either.
1. My first technique was to restrict the users to entries that could only
be 3 character, 3 characters, 4 character (area code, prefix, suffix,
respectively). I would null out any inputs that were non-numeric (except the...

Hi,
Using php 4.4.4, I am looking to parse a US phone number string into 3
smaller strings -- area code, the first part of the phone number (3
digits) and the last part of the phone number (4 digits). The only
given is that there will be 10 digits in the string, but people may
include spaces, parens, or other characters. These are all strings
I'd expect

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
