Help again..
Whats the regex for the format like

883 02 12313545

or

883-02-12313545

Code:

var nr = "883 82 12313545";

var regExp = /^\d{3}\s\d{2}\s\d{8}$/;

if(regExp.test(nr)) {
	alert("Number is fine");
} else {
	alert("Not fine");
}

Just replace the \s with a - for the second case.

Pepejeria,
I wrote this:

Code:

var regExp = /^\d{3}\s\d{2}\s\d{8}$  |    ^\d{3}\-\d{2}\-\d{8}$ /

Message box displays "Not fine".

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var nr = "883 82 12313545";

var regExp = /^\d{3}\s\d{2}\s\d{8}$/ ;
var regExp2 = /^\d{3}\-\d{2}\-\d{8}$/;

if(regExp.test(nr) || regExp2.test(nr) ) {
	alert("Number is fine");
} else {
	alert("Not fine");
}
</script>

Message box displays "Number is fine".

Skip the spaces around the | and you should be fine with one regular expression to test both cases

Code:

var nr = "883-82-12313545";

var regExp = /^\d{3}\s\d{2}\s\d{8}$|^\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{8}$/;

if(regExp.test(nr)) {
	alert("Number is fine");
} else {
	alert("Not fine");
}

The following regular expression will make sure that it works both ways plus it will also allow you to use combination off space and - in the string

Code:

/^\d{3}(?:\s|\-)+\d{2}(?:\s|\-)+\d{8}$/
