I want to write a regular expression for a standard US type phone number that supports the following formats:
###-###-#### (###) ###-#### ### ### #### ###.###.#### where # means any number. So far I came up with the following expressions
^[1-9]\d{2}-\d{3}-\d{4} ^\(\d{3}\)\s\d{3}-\d{4} ^[1-9]\d{2}\s\d{3}\s\d{4} ^[1-9]\d{2}\.\d{3}\.\d{4} respectively. I am not quite sure if the last one is correct for the dotted check. I also want to know if there is any way I could write a single expression instead of the 4 different ones that cater to the different formats I mentioned. If so, I am not sure how do I do that. And also how do I modify the expression/expressions so that I can also include a condition to support the area code as optional component. Something like
+1 ### ### #### where +1 is the area code and it is optional.

^(\+\d{1,2}\s)?\(?\d{3}\)?[\s.-]\d{3}[\s.-]\d{4}$ Matches the following
123-456-7890 (123) 456-7890 123 456 7890 123.456.7890 +91 (123) 456-7890 If you do not want a match on non-US numbers use
^(\+0?1\s)?\(?\d{3}\)?[\s.-]\d{3}[\s.-]\d{4}$ Update :
As noticed by user Simon Weaver below, if you are also interested in matching on unformatted numbers just make the separator character class optional as [\s.-]?
^(\+\d{1,2}\s)?\(?\d{3}\)?[\s.-]?\d{3}[\s.-]?\d{4}$ There are many variations possible for this problem. Here is a regular expression similar to an answer I previously placed on SO.
^\s*(?:\+?(\d{1,3}))?[-. (]*(\d{3})[-. )]*(\d{3})[-. ]*(\d{4})(?: *x(\d+))?\s*$ It would match the following examples and much more:
18005551234 1 800 555 1234 +1 800 555-1234 +86 800 555 1234 1-800-555-1234 1 (800) 555-1234 (800)555-1234 (800) 555-1234 (800)5551234 800-555-1234 800.555.1234 800 555 1234x5678 8005551234 x5678 1 800 555-1234 1----800----555-1234 Regardless of the way the phone number is entered, the capture groups can be used to breakdown the phone number so you can process it in your code.
- Group1: Country Code (ex: 1 or 86)
- Group2: Area Code (ex: 800)
- Group3: Exchange (ex: 555)
- Group4: Subscriber Number (ex: 1234)
- Group5: Extension (ex: 5678)
Here is a breakdown of the expression if you're interested:
^\s* #Line start, match any whitespaces at the beginning if any. (?:\+?(\d{1,3}))? #GROUP 1: The country code. Optional. [-. (]* #Allow certain non numeric characters that may appear between the Country Code and the Area Code. (\d{3}) #GROUP 2: The Area Code. Required. [-. )]* #Allow certain non numeric characters that may appear between the Area Code and the Exchange number. (\d{3}) #GROUP 3: The Exchange number. Required. [-. ]* #Allow certain non numeric characters that may appear between the Exchange number and the Subscriber number. (\d{4}) #Group 4: The Subscriber Number. Required. (?: *x(\d+))? #Group 5: The Extension number. Optional. \s*$ #Match any ending whitespaces if any and the end of string. To make the Area Code optional, just add a question mark after the (\d{3}) for the area code.

((\+92)|0)[.\- ]?[0-9][.\- ]?[0-9][.\- ]?[0-9] Tested against the following use cases.
+92 -345 -123 -4567 +92 333 123 4567 +92 300 123 4567 +92 321 123 -4567 +92 345 - 540 - 5883 Starting with @Ravi's answer, I also applied some validation rules for the NPA (Area) Code.
In particular:
- It should start with a 2 (or higher)
- It cannot have "11" as the second and third digits (N11).
There are a couple other restrictions, including reserved blocks (N9X, 37X, 96X) and 555, but I left those out, particularly because the reserved blocks may see future use, and 555 is useful for testing.
This is what I came up with:
^((\+\d{1,2}|1)[\s.-]?)?\(?[2-9](?!11)\d{2}\)?[\s.-]?\d{3}[\s.-]?\d{4}$ Alternately, if you also want to match blank values (if the field isn't required), you can use:
(^((\+\d{1,2}|1)[\s.-]?)?\(?[2-9](?!11)\d{2}\)?[\s.-]?\d{3}[\s.-]?\d{4}$|^$) My test cases for valid numbers (many from @Francis' answer) are:
18005551234 1 800 555 1234 +1 800 555-1234 +86 800 555 1234 1-800-555-1234 1.800.555.1234 +1.800.555.1234 1 (800) 555-1234 (800)555-1234 (800) 555-1234 (800)5551234 800-555-1234 800.555.1234 My invalid test cases include:
(003) 555-1212 // Area code starts with 0 (103) 555-1212 // Area code starts with 1 (911) 555-1212 // Area code ends with 11 180055512345 // Too many digits 1 800 5555 1234 // Prefix code too long +1 800 555x1234 // Invalid delimiter +867 800 555 1234 // Country code too long 1-800-555-1234p // Invalid character 1 (800) 555-1234 // Too many spaces 800x555x1234 // Invalid delimiter 86 800 555 1212 // Non-NA country code doesn't have + My regular expression does not include grouping to extract the digit groups, but it can be modified to include those.
1Perhaps the easiest one compare to several others.
\(?\d+\)?[-.\s]?\d+[-.\s]?\d+ It matches the following:
1(555) 444-6789
555-444-6789
555.444.6789
555 444 6789
I find this regular expression most useful for me for 10 digit contact number :
^(?:(?:\+|0{0,2})91(\s*[\-]\s*)?|[0]?)?[789]\d{9}$ Explanation:
The expressions for 1, 3 and 4 are quite similar, so you can use:
^([1-9]\d{2})([- .])(\d{3})$2(\d{4})$ Note that, depending on the language and brand of regexes used, you might need to put \2 instead of $2 or such matching might not be supported at all.
I see no good way to combine this with the format 2, apart from the obvious ^(regex for 1,3,4|regex for 2)$ which is ugly, clumsy and makes it hard to get out the parts of the numbers.
As for the area code, you can add (\+\d)? to the beginning to capture a single-digit area code (sorry, I don't know the format of your area codes).
How about this?
^(\+?[01])?[-.\s]?\(?[1-9]\d{2}\)?[-.\s]?\d{3}[-.\s]?\d{4} EDIT: I forgot about the () one. EDIT 2: Got the first 3 digit part wrong.
4This code will match a US or Canadian phone number, and will also make sure that it is a valid area code and exchange:
^((\+1)?[\s-]?)?\(?[2-9]\d\d\)?[\s-]?[2-9]\d\d[\s-]?\d\d\d\d Above regex is a slight modification of @Francis Gagnon.
Objective : To detect any possible pattern a user can share their US phone number
Version 1:
^\s*(?:\+?(\d{1,3}))?[\W\D\s]*(\d[\W\D\s]*?\d[\D\W\s]*?\d)[\W\D\s]*(\d[\W\D\s]*?\d[\D\W\s]*?\d)[\W\D\s]*(\d[\W\D\s]*?\d[\D\W\s]*?\d[\W\D\s]*?\d)(?: *x(\d+))?\s*$ Version 2:
\s*(?:\+?(\d{1,3}))?[\W\D\s]^|()*(\d[\W\D\s]*?\d[\D\W\s]*?\d)[\W\D\s]*(\d[\W\D\s]*?\d[\D\W\s]*?\d)[\W\D\s]*(\d[\W\D\s]*?\d[\D\W\s]*?\d[\W\D\s]*?\d)(?: *x(\d+))?\s*$ What is in it: The test cases can be a part of the string. In version one the test cases should be a start of a line to work.
If you can find a pattern that can fail please do comment i will fix it.
