Regular expression to match phone numbers with country codes

Question

This is the regular expression I use to match phone numbers like:

00 00 00 00 00
00 00 0 00 00 00 00
+00 0 00 00 00 00

(\\d{2}\\s+\\d{2}\\s+\\d{2}\\s+\\d{2}         


        

Answer 1

Try this instead:

\d\d(\s+\d\d){4}|(\d\d\s+\d\d\s+\d|\+\s+\d)\d\d(\s+\d\d){3}

which means:

\d\d(\s+\d\d){4}    // 00 00 00 00 00

|                   // OR

(                   // (
  \d\d\s+\d\d\s+\d  //    00 00 0
  |                 //    OR
  \+\s+\d           //    + 0
)                   // )
\d\d(\s+\d\d){3}    // 00 00 00 00
