Regex - Extract phone numbers from string

Question

I need to extract two phone numbers from a string with delimiters (tilde). The tricky part is the format of the phone numbers can vary.

The string pattern stays the same

Answer 1

You may use

(?<=~\+|~)([0-9]+)(?=~)

See the regex demo

If there is a problem with lookbehind, use a bit modified variant:

(?:(?<=~\+)|(?<=~))([0-9]+)(?=~)

Details

• (?<=~\+|~) - there must be ~+ or ~ immediately to the left of the current location
• ([0-9]+) - Group 1: one or more digits
• (?=~) - there must be ~ immediately to the right of the current location.
