phone number regular expression problem

[venu]

Hi,
I have a different requirement and it is :

I need to validate a phone number field.
It may or may not be a US phone number.

The constraints are :
***********************

# It should accept any number of numbers
# any number of - hyphens
# and one + symbol
# no other characters and alphabets are allowed

Thanks in advance

Think about the problem and write good requirements (yours are really
bad!). I hope this helps you more than a canned answer would.

p.s. real answer: look at Number:hone

You mean the following are acceptable phone numbers:
"+"
"----------------------"
"12345+56789"
"203980234092-091234-0918234-982-34989834-09283-098349821-0394-219384-02918-092834-012983490"

but these are not:
"800 723 9374"
"(0234)23249"

nor this:
"08000 CONTACTS"

I've assumed you actually meant "zero or one + symbol".
