in reply to Combining client phone lists

Just a side note: I've just checked that it is still a to-be-done-issue (from the docs:
Future releases of the module will also provide patterns for the follo +wing: * email addresses * HTML/XML tags * more numerical matchers, * mail headers (including multiline ones), * more URLS * telephone numbers of various countries * currency (universal 3 letter format, Latin-1, currency names) * dates * binary formats (e.g. UUencoded, MIMEd)
)
but it's still worth when working on regexps to throw an eye on Regexp::Common. With a bit of luck, what you need is already done, at highest quality.
