Phone Number Parsing

You have been provided a large string of phone numbers. The problem is, each phone number does not follow a standard format.

You have been asked to convert them from the non standardized format into a standard format.

Phone numbers will be given in the following formats:

• 1231231234
• 123 123 1234
• (123)-123-1234
• (123) 123 1234
• (123)123-1234

You need to convert them into the format 123-123-1234.

text = "
1231231234
123 123 1234
(123)-123-1234
(123) 123 1234
(123)123-1234
"
PhoneNumber.parse(text)
"
123-123-1234
123-123-1234
123-123-1234
123-123-1234
123-123-1234
"
