Regex formatting

Question

I have this regex format for a phone number sample 012-3456789.

malaysianPhoneRegex = "^[0]{1}[0-9]{2}[\\-]{1}[0-9]{7,8}$";

Now I want it to be able to accept 012-3456789 or 0123456789 or 012 345 6789 or 012 3456789

How do I do it, I am still learning on regex.

Try adding some examples of regex patterns you have tried but are not working for you. — Dave Bennett, Apr 07 '15 at 03:59

Put the space, hyphen inside the character class and then make it as optional.

malaysianPhoneRegex = "^0[0-9]{2}[- ]?[0-9]{3} ?[0-9]{4,5}$";

var regex = /^[0]{1}[0-9]{2}[ \-]{0,1}[0-9]{3} {0,1}[0-9]{4}$/;
test = function(string) {
  console.log(string + ': ' + regex.test(string));
}
test("012-3456789");
test("0123456789");
test("012 345 6789");
test("012 3456789");
