Validates *usable* US telephone numbers (possibly Canadian and Caribbean Islands as well?) Numbers cannot beginning with zero, one, (any number)11, or 555. It will allow either a hyphen, space or period as a separator. Technically (and contrary to popular belief) most 555- numbers ARE valid numbers [see http://www.nanpa.com/nas/public/form555MasterReport.do?method=display555MasterReport ] but they are unlikely to be used by normal folks. Therefore, excluding them with this regex is useful to prevent bogus/fraudulent telephone numbers in forms. FYI, the fictitious 555- numbers used in the movies and TV are only in the range of 555-0100 through 555-0199. Not very many, huh?

US Phone Number: This regular expression for US phone numbers conforms to NANP A-digit and D-digit requirments (ANN-DNN-NNNN). Area Codes 001-199 are not permitted; Central Office Codes 001-199 are not permitted. Format validation accepts 10-digits without delimiters, optional parens on area code, and optional spaces or dashes between area code, central office code and station code. Acceptable formats include 2225551212, 222 555 1212, 222-555-1212, (222) 555 1212, (222) 555-1212, etc. You can add/remove formatting options to meet your needs.

Brazilian Postal Box RegExp validation

PCRE (PHP) regular expression for validating US telephone numbers with OPTIONAL area code, and OPTIONAL extension. Promiscuous formatting (parenthesis or slash, space, dash, dot or no separator). Captures the telephone number area code, prefix, suffix, and extension to named groups. Rejects area codes that begin with 0 or 1 and prefixes that begin with 0. Rejects all telephone numbers that do not match on exactly 7 digits, or on exactly 10 digits with the optional area code, not counting the extension or the format. Seperators, when used, must be in the right place. Extension can be preceded by a space(s) and/or "x", "X", or "Ext" and matches on 1 to 5 digits. Written from the view that getting phone numbers from customers should be as easy and tolerant as possible. Matched number can be parsed and entered into database correctly on the business end. Based on similar regex by Jerry Schmersahl in this library. Case insensitivity could simplify this expression, but implementation is left up to you. For PHP/PCRE compatibility, put a "P" in front of each capture name (ie: "(?P<AreaCode>"). This server does not recognize the Python/PCRE naming convention.

Filter US telephone numbers. This particular one accepts only area code 939 or 787. Area code parentesis or hyphens optional.

Based on a regular expression from Michael Ash, this captures US street addresses and mailing addresses, single or multi-line (multi-line is more reliable), and breaks them into discrete parts for address line 1 and 2, city, state, and postal code. This expression is not perfect - with the interpreter I am using, some addresses refuse to match correctly. It should however work for most addresses, particularly when lines are delimited with carriage returns, tabs, or some other whitespace line delimiter that is not a space (\x20). Note: For improved compatibility, this expression does not use named groups. **Output** \1 = Address 1, \2 = Address 2, \3 = City, \4 = State, \5 = Postal Code

This is a simple expression to check a US street address entered on either one or two lines. Being short it does not check that the road qualifer is "valid" (eg. drive, avenue, etc), but it does allow for the extended zip code. A word of warning, the multiline mode can be picky about ending the first line with extra space.
