{### / ### - #### Ext:^ ####}	same as above with extra extension (separate ext and ### with ^)
{#####^-####}	Literals after ^ other than # will be cleared if there aren't enough digits

If you want to create a custom fuction but there is an option to be written in two ways you need to include both possibilities. For example if the phone format was 1 222 333 3333, but they can enter the number without the country code as well. You need to include both possibilities in the value like so {# ### ###-####}{### ###-####}.
