How could I validate 13 digit phone number with hyphen?

Question

I have a phone number formatted like this.+251-911-123456.

How could I create a regex that matches the given format.

I was trying to do it with the bellow given expression but it is not a success.

^(\+\d{1,2}\s)?\(?\d{3}\)?[\s.-]\d{3}[\s.-]\d{4}$

Answer 1

You may use

/^\+\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{6}$/

Details

• ^ - start of string
• \+ - a + symbol
• \d{3} - three digits
• - - a hyphen
• \d{3} - three digits
• - - a hyphen
• \d{6} - six digits
• $ - end of string.
