Regex digits with length and some specific characters

Question

I have a phone number input field where it must:

I tried but my best result was ng-pattern="/^\+?\d{0,11}?$/".
How to make this work?

It is not clear what your requirements are. Please add some examples that you need to match. — Wiktor Stribiżew, Apr 25 '17 at 13:12
It's not clear if the length of characters/digits includes the extra "characters" you mention, etc. Show an example of what you expect... — l'L'l, Apr 25 '17 at 13:15
Try `ng-pattern="/^(?!.{13})\+?\d[-\d]*$/"`. Sorry, given the current requirements, it is going to be a guessing game. — Wiktor Stribiżew, Apr 25 '17 at 13:19

Seems like you're trying to match a phone number? Maybe this is helpful: What regular expression will match valid international phone numbers?

Otherwise, if no particular order or restrictions for your numbers, +, - or spaces, this should do the work: /^[0-9\+\-\s]{1,12}$/

Thanks for the answer but how to limit the length to 12 characters? – Anna Apr 25 '17 at 13:15
Do you want to limit the length of ALL the characters, including the special ones `+`, `-` and spaces? That would be the `{1,12}` part. – Andrei Duca Apr 25 '17 at 13:18
Yeah including the special ones. I edited my question. This doesn't seem to work --> [Test](https://regex101.com/r/kuc5OF/1/) – Anna Apr 25 '17 at 13:21
`^/[0-9\+\-\s]{1,12}/$` - you need to specify the start `^` and end `$` modifiers for an exact match. I updated my answer. – Andrei Duca Apr 25 '17 at 13:22
You're welcome! As long as it worked, no time was wasted. – Andrei Duca Apr 25 '17 at 13:28
