Question

I am working on a website. I am using C# corresponding to Visual Studio 2008. I want to make a text box that accept only numbers & comma(,).
For example,

-919981424199,78848817711,47171111747 

or there may be a single number like 919981424199.

I was able to do one thing. My text box is only containing a number by using this regular expression validation. In its property->Validation Expression I wrote “[0-9]+”.
This is working, but now my requirement is to send bulk SMS, and each number is separated by (,).
I tried a lot, but I am not getting the answer. What is it?

Answer 1

Just add “,” to your regular expression. From memory I think it should be:

"[0-9]+(,[0-9]+)*"

To break the input into a list of numbers use String.Split() with the comma as the delimiter:

string[] numbers = string.split(input, ",");

Then loop over the numbers array sending your SMS to each.
