Javascript RegExp - extract phone numbers from string

Question

I have the following working regex to extract a lot of phone numbers in different formats.

See here: http://jsfiddle.net/SB5Ly/4/

var regex = new Reg         


        

Answer 1

I don't know how prescriptive you want to be, but this matches all your examples:

var regex = new RegExp("\\+?\\(?\\d*\\)? ?\\(?\\d+\\)?\\d*([\\s./-]?\\d{2,})+", "g");

See a live demo of this regex.

One small bug with your regex: When wanting to include a literal dash in a character class, either escape it or place it first or last.

You had [\\s-.], which is incorrect. It should be either [\\s.-], [-\\s.] or [\\s\\-.].
