I'm trying to write a regular expression for an indian mobile number with +91 as optional before the number

The regEx that I have written is below: 

^[\+91]?[7-9][0-9]{9}$

This isn't working properly, please help.

  • Can you post an example string that fails this test? – Mohit Bhardwaj May 12 '17 at 06:20

  • Probably your issue is related to the `[\+91]` part. If so, try using `[(\+91)]` instead. – Mohit Bhardwaj May 12 '17 at 06:23
  • How is it "not working properly"? You need to read up on the meaning of a character set or class (`[]`). `[/+91]` does **not** mean to match `+91`. You could also search for other answers on SO, of which there are more than one. –  May 12 '17 at 06:37

I think this should work. I've tested it on https://regex101.com/ 

 /^((\+91?)|\+)?[7-9][0-9]{9}$/

    This will match `1234567890` which is not a valid number. –  May 12 '17 at 06:38
  • Thanks for reminding me about using groups. I have edited your regex and here's what I have written which is working perfectly /^((\+91?)|\+)?[7-9][0-9]{9}$/; – Harish May 12 '17 at 06:48
