| Description |
Very flexible US phone number entry. -- There are many valid ways to enter a phone number, and often there is other data that a restrictive Regex pattern will not abide. -- This pattern accepts any number of letters, commas, pound signs, slashes, spaces, periods, parenthesis, hyphens, plus signs, and asterisks... but amongst it scans for a minimum of 10 digits, the first and fourth of which cannot be 0 or 1 (per US phone number standards in 2006). -- Data in excess of the 10 required digits is allowed. |
