Add a word boundary  b at the end of the regex         0-9  3      0-9  3 -  0-9  3 - 0-9  4  b    if the space after   is optional         0-9  3    s   0-9  3 -  0-9  3 - 0-9  4  b

Add a   to the end of the regex to signify the end of the pattern   var regExp         0-9  3    s   0-9  3 -  0-9  3 - 0-9  4

If you using on input tag than this code will help you  I write this code by myself and I think this is very good way to use in input  but you can change it using your format  It will help user to correct their format on input tag       phone   on  input   function        this is use for every time input change          var inputValue   getInputValue      get value from input and make it usefull number         var length   inputValue length    get lenth of input          if  inputValue  lt  1000                        inputValue    1   inputValue           else if  inputValue  lt  1000000                         inputValue    1    inputValue substring 0  3          inputValue substring 3  length            else if  inputValue  lt  10000000000                         inputValue    1    inputValue substring 0  3          inputValue substring 3  6     -    inputValue substring 6  length            else                       inputValue    1    inputValue substring 0  3          inputValue substring 3  6     -    inputValue substring 6  10                                phone   val inputValue     correct value entered to your input          inputValue   getInputValue     get value again  becuase it changed  this one using for changing color of input border        if   inputValue  gt  2000000000   amp  amp   inputValue  lt  9999999999                         phone   css  border   black solid 1px     if it is valid phone number than border will be black         else                       phone   css  border   red solid 1px     if it is invalid phone number than border will be red                     function getInputValue              var inputValue       phone   val   replace   D g         remove all non numeric character         if  inputValue charAt 0     1     if first character is 1 than remove it                        var inputValue   inputValue substring 1  inputValue length                     return inputValue

can anyone explain why   because your regular expression does match the input   It s just that the input also includes the extra characters   You included     to signify the beginning of line  but  as Andy said  you should include     to signify the end of line   If you start your regex with     and end it with      then it will only match lines that only match your regex   By starting your regex with     and not ending it with      you match lines that start with a sequence matching your regex  but lines can have anything else trailing the matching sequence

1  s     0-9  3    -     0-9  3  -     0-9  3  -    0-9  4      This will validate all US style numbers  with or without the 1  and with or without parenthesis on area code but if used  used properly  I E   902-455-4555 will not work since there is no closing parenthesis  it also allows for either - or a space between sets if wanted   It will work for the examples provided by op

0-9  3        s  -  1    0-9  3    s  -  1    0-9  4    Assuming you are validating US phone numbers  this will do the trick   First  we allow 0 or 1 open parentheses to start      Then  we allow 3 consecutive digits between 0-9  0-9  3   After  we repeat the first step and allow 0 or 1 closing parentheses      For the second grouping  we start by allowing a space or a hyphen 0 or 1 times    s  -  1      This is repeated between the second and third grouping of numbers  and we check for 3 consecutive digits then four consecutive digits to end it  For US phone numbers I think this covers the bases for a lot of different ways that people might format the number  but is restrictive enough that they can t pass an unreasonable string

Can any one explain why     This happening because your regular expression doesn t end with any anchor meta-character such as the end of line   or a word boundary  b   So when you ask the regex engine whether 123-345-34567 is valid phone number it will try to find a match within this string  so it matches 123- with this part     0-9  3      0-9  3 -  then it matches 345- with this part  0-9  3 - then it matches 3456 with this part  0-9  4    Now the engine finds that it has walked the entire regex and found a string inside your input that matches the regex although a character was left - the number 7- in the input string  so it stops and returns success because it found a sub-string that matches   If you had included   or  b at the end of your regex  the engine walks the same way as before then it tries to match   or  b but finds the last number - the 7 - and it is not a word boundary  b nor a an end of line   so it stops and fails to find a match

This regular expression       0-9  3    s   0-9  3  -  0-9  3 - 0-9  4    validates all of the following    123-345-3456     078 789-8908     078  789-8908      Note the space   To break down what s happening      The group in the beginning validates two ways  either  XXX  or XXX-  with optionally spaces after the closing parenthesis  The part after the group checks for XXX-XXX

This is by far the easiest way I have found to use javascript regex to check phone number format  this particular example checks if it is a 10 digit number   lt input name  quot phone quot  pattern  quot   d 10   quot  type  quot text quot  size  quot 50 quot  gt   The input field gets flagged when submit button is clicked if the pattern doesn t match the value  no other css or js required
