Regular expression to match standard 10 digit phone number

Question

I want to write a regular expression for a standard US type phone number that supports the following formats      -   -              -                                 where   means any number  So far I came up with the following expressions    1-9  d 2 - d 3 - d 4      d 3    s d 3 - d 4    1-9  d 2  s d 3  s d 4    1-9  d 2    d 3    d 4    respectively  I am not quite sure if the last one is correct for the dotted check  I also want to know if there is any way I could write a single expression instead of the 4 different ones that cater to the different formats I mentioned  If so  I am not sure how do I do that  And also how do I modify the expression expressions so that I can also include a condition to support the area code as optional component  Something like   1                where  1 is the area code and it is optional

I m just throwing this answer in there since it solves a problem of mine  it s based off of  stormy s answer  but includes 3 digit country codes and more importantly can be used anywhere in a string  but won t match is it s not preceded by a space start of the string and ending with a word boundary  This is useful so that it won t match random numbers in the middle of a URL or something       s         d 1 3  s   1  -     s     d 3      s -   d 3   s -   d 4      b

The expressions for 1  3 and 4 are quite similar  so you can use      1-9  d 2    -      d 3   2  d 4      Note that  depending on the language and brand of regexes used  you might need to put  2 instead of  2 or such matching might not be supported at all   I see no good way to combine this with the format 2  apart from the obvious   regex for 1 3 4 regex for 2   which is ugly  clumsy and makes it hard to get out the parts of the numbers   As for the area code  you can add     d   to the beginning to capture a single-digit area code  sorry  I don t know the format of your area codes

There are many variations possible for this problem  Here is a regular expression similar to an answer I previously placed on SO      s         d 1 3     -       d 3   -       d 3   -      d 4       x  d     s     It would match the following examples and much more   18005551234 1 800 555 1234  1 800 555-1234  86 800 555 1234 1-800-555-1234 1  800  555-1234  800 555-1234  800  555-1234  800 5551234 800-555-1234 800 555 1234 800 555 1234x5678 8005551234 x5678 1    800    555-1234 1----800----555-1234   Regardless of the way the phone number is entered  the capture groups can be used to breakdown the phone number so you can process it in your code    Group1  Country Code  ex  1 or 86  Group2  Area Code  ex  800  Group3  Exchange  ex  555  Group4  Subscriber Number  ex  1234  Group5  Extension  ex  5678    Here is a breakdown of the expression if you re interested     s                  Line start  match any whitespaces at the beginning if any          d 1 3        GROUP 1  The country code  Optional   -                   Allow certain non numeric characters that may appear between the Country Code and the Area Code    d 3                GROUP 2  The Area Code  Required   -                   Allow certain non numeric characters that may appear between the Area Code and the Exchange number    d 3                GROUP 3  The Exchange number  Required   -                   Allow certain non numeric characters that may appear between the Exchange number and the Subscriber number    d 4                Group 4  The Subscriber Number  Required       x  d            Group 5  The Extension number  Optional   s                   Match any ending whitespaces if any and the end of string    To make the Area Code optional  just add a question mark after the   d 3   for the area code
