| Description |
Regular expression for validating US telephone numbers with OPTIONAL area code. Matches various permutations of formatting characters (parenthesis, space, dash). Parses the telephone number area code, prefix, and suffix to named groups to facilitate program manipulation. Area code is optional and can optionally be enclosed in parentheses. 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 formatting characters. |
