| Description |
Step 3: Validate the NSN produced from the pattern in step 2 and check it for length and validity. The pattern here is very detailed matching every valid UK prefix, and rejecting large numbers of non-valid ranges.
Step 4 will be to format the number correctly. This needs a variety of RegEx patterns each based on the initial digits and number length as shown in the article mentioned below. |
