How to change format of phone numbers in PowerShell?

we need append area code , hyphen in front of office phone number field in domain user account our users have office phones changing 7 digit numbers 10 digit numbers.

i found script finds , edits phone numbers, author chose different way format numbers.

this part of script need change:

# format number xxx xx xx xxx.
        $phone = '{0} {1} {2} {3}' -f$phone.substring(0,3),$phone.substring(3,2),$phone.substring(5,2),$phone.substring(7,3)

i'm trying figure out how edit formats xxx-xxx-xxxx (3 digit area code, hyphen, 3 digit prefix, hyphen, 4 digit number) instead of xxx xx xx xxx.

can show how rewrite section?

the modified script:

# format number xxx-xxx-xxxx.          $phone = '{0}-{1}-{2}' -f $phone.substring(0,3),$phone.substring(3,3),$phone.substring(6,4)
