Hi I am trying to make a regular expression on validating phone numbers to start with 02 and be 10 digits(including the 02). This is what I have but it doesn't seem to be working:
/^02[0-9]{8}$/
Thanks for the help

You should at least have given some sample phone numbers you are trying to match. – Tim Biegeleisen May 19 '15 at 07:55

This regex is okay, it takes `02XXXXXXXX`, of course, with no other characters like space, etc. – pavel May 19 '15 at 07:58

Please provide some examples of numbers that fail to validate with your regexp. – Tibos May 19 '15 at 07:59

example of fail: 9999999999, 8888888888, 0123456789 – Jeromy Tjaardstra May 19 '15 at 08:01

@JeromyTjaardstra These do fail because they don't start with 02, as your asked for. Please provide examples of numbers which don't act as you expect. – thodic May 19 '15 at 08:04

If I use the phone number 0234567891, a possible regex could be:
/^(02){1}[0-9]{8}$/
Ensure you match the '02' exactly once and then and 8 digits after.

@praval: you need to add anchors to the regex for perfect 10 digit match. check out http://regexr.com - very useful site. – Harish May 19 '15 at 08:12
