Phone Number Normalizer

Usage

sudo apt-get install xsel xclip
chmod +x normalizer
./normalizer

With the application running any phone numbers copied to the clipboard will be converted into +12345678900 format.

Example

I made this script then I was converting all my contacts to this format. Here was the procedure:

1. Open a contact
2. Double click and drag to select the entire number
3. Press ctrl + v
4. Go back and open another contact

Known Issues

To save a step, this script uses xsel rather than xclip to read input. For some reason text seems to only be recognized if selected using a double-click and drag method.
