RegExLib.com - The first Regular Expression Library on the Web!

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.

This expression is useful for determining if an address is a PO Box type address. This can be useful in shipping systems as well as other systems that need to make determinations based on the type of address imputed.

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
