Question

I wrote this regular expression for the Lebanese phone number basically it should start with

00961 or +961 which is the international code then the area code which

could be either any digit from 0 to 9 or cellular code “70” or “76” or

“79” then a 6 digit number exactly

I have coded the following reg ex without the 6 digit part :

^(([0][0]|[+])([9][6][1])([0-9]{1}|[7][0]|[7][1]|[7][6]|[7][8]))$

when i want to add code to ensure only 6 digits more are allowed to the expression:

^(([0][0]|[+])([9][6][1])([0-9]{1}|[7][0]|[7][1]|[7][6]|[7][8])([0-9]{6}))$

It Seems to accept 5 or 6 digits not 6 digits exactly

i am having difficulty finding whats wrong

Answer 1

use this regex ((00)|(\+))961((\d)|(7[0168]))\d{6}
