HighRise jQuery parsing

Question
I want to add h323:number style links to HighRise contact numbers, so that users can click a link to dial the IP phone...
The html I'm looking at is:
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th>Phone</th>
<td>+44 (0)1123 1231312<span>Work</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th></th>
<td>+44 (0)777 2342342<span>Other</span></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
and basically I want to pull out the number which is in a td and which starts with +44, strip out the spaces and stick in a link inside the span that has an href like
h323:4411231231312
i.e. is stripping out the 0 in brackets.
Any help would be greatfully received to any of the following.
(1) How do I match the td containing +\d\d numbers? (2) How do I use selectors to exclude the span when I get the number from the td (3) What regex should I use to cleanup the number for the href?
Solution
This should be close to what you need.
$('tbody td').each(function() {
// match a sequence of digits, parentheses and spaces
var matches = $(this).text().match(/[ \d()]+/);
if (matches) {
// remove the spaces and stuff between parentheses
var href = 'h323:' + matches[0].replace(/\s|\(.*?\)/g, '');
var link = $('<a/>').attr('href', href);
$('span', this).append(link);
}
});
One word of caution though, if a span
's content starts with a digit it will be included in the match; is this a possibility that needs to be accounted for?

var $ = jQuery;
//do something useful here....
$('table td').each(function() {
var matches = $(this).text().match(/^\+*?[\d\(\) ]+/);
if (matches) {
var href = 'h323:' + matches[0].replace(/\+44|\+|\s|\(|\)/g, '');
var link = $(' <a>CALL<a/>').attr('href', href);
$(this).find('span').append(link);
}
});
}
})();
