Regex for Mobile Number Validation

Question

I want a regex for mobile number validation. The regex pattern should be such that it must accept + only in beginning and space(or -) should be al

Answer 1

Try this regex:

^(\+?\d{1,4}[\s-])?(?!0+\s+,?$)\d{10}\s*,?$

Explanation of the regex using Perl's YAPE is as below:

(?-imsx:                 group, but do not capture (case-sensitive)
                         (with ^ and $ matching normally) (with . not
                         matching \n) (matching whitespace and #
                         normally):
----------------------------------------------------------------------
  ^                        the beginning of the string
----------------------------------------------------------------------
  (                        group and capture to \1 (optional
                           (matching the most amount possible)):
----------------------------------------------------------------------
    \+?                      '+' (optional (matching the most amount
                             possible))

                           quantifier on this capture, only the LAST
                           repetition of the captured pattern will be
                           stored in \1)

Answer 2

Satisfies all your requirements if you use the trick told below

Regex: /^(\+\d{1,3}[- ]?)?\d{10}$/

1. ^ start of line
2. A + followed by \d+ followed by a or - which are optional.
3. Whole point two is optional.
4. Negative lookahead to make sure 0s do not follow.
5. Match \d+ 10 times.
6. Line end.

DEMO ^{Added multiline flag in demo to check for all cases}

P.S. You really need to specify which language you use so as to use an if condition something like below:

// true if above regex is satisfied and (&&) it does not (`!`) match `0`s `5` or more times

if(number.match(/^(\+\d{1,3}[- ]?)?\d{10}$/) && ! (number.match(/0{5,}/)) )

Answer 3

This regex is very short and sweet for working.

/^([+]\d{2})?\d{10}$/

Ex: +910123456789 or 0123456789

-> /^ and $/ is for starting and ending
-> The ? mark is used for conditional formatting where before question mark is available or not it will work
-> ([+]\d{2}) this indicates that the + sign with two digits '\d{2}' here you can place digit as per country
-> after the ? mark '\d{10}' this says that the digits must be 10 of length change as per your country mobile number length

This is how this regex for mobile number is working.
+ sign is used for world wide matching of number.

if you want to add the space between than you can use the

[ ]

here the square bracket represents the character sequence and a space is character for searching in regex.
for the space separated digit you can use this regex

/^([+]\d{2}[ ])?\d{10}$/

Ex: +91 0123456789

Thanks ask any question if you have.
