Regular Expressions

[megabyte214]

I am trying to use a regular expression to validate phone number as format (585)555-1212.

I tried it 2 ways:

["regexp=^\([0-9]{3}\)[0-9]{3}\-[0-9]{4}$", "Please give your Phone as format (585)555-1212"]

^\(\d{3}\)\d{3}\-\d{4}$

your second regex works. try this in your browser's location box:

javascript:str='(585)555-1212'; if(/^\(\d{3}\)\d{3}\-\d{4}$/.test(str))alert(1)

check out the source code for xapi.

It has a documented phone number regular expression there.

Hope this helps.
