Question

I have this following regex method for the jquery validate plugin.

jQuery.validator.addMethod("phoneUS", function(phone_number, element) {
    phone_number = phone_number.replace(/\s+/g, ""); 
    return this.optional(element) || phone_number.length > 9 &&
        phone_number.match(/^(1-?)?(\([2-9]\d{2}\)|[2-9]\d{2})-?[2-9]\d{2}-?\d{4}$/);
}, "Please specify a valid phone number");

Currently, its validating against phone numbers in this format : 203-123-1234

I need to change to validate like this: 2031231234

Does anyone have a quick and easy solution for me?

Answer 1

You can replace

phone_number.match(/^(1-?)?(\([2-9]\d{2}\)|[2-9]\d{2})-?[2-9]\d{2}-?\d{4}$/);

with this

phone_number.match(/\d{10}/);

\d means match any digit

and

{10} means 10 times
