Hey Angelo,
I like to use the Satimage Osax's change command with regular expressions for such things.
set phoneNum to "123456789"
set findData to phoneNum set findString to "(\\d{3})(\\d{3})(\\d{3})" set changeString to "\\1-\\2-\\3"
set changeResult to change findString ¬ into changeString ¬ in findData ¬ with regexp
