Hi! I have to test some phones entered into a textarea. So for example
someone enter this:
<textarea>
(123) 2334-1222
(124) 2334-1222
</textarea>
What I want to check is that the user enter a valid phone with this regex
((\(\d{3}\) ?)|(\d{3}-))?\d{4}-\d{4}

but also I want to check that the number of phones entered to be <= 10
between phones there are Enters

so this is correct
<textarea>
(123) 2334-1222
(124) 2334-1222
</textarea>

but this not
<textarea>
(123) 233222 <-- not valid phone
(124) 2334-1222
</textarea>

this is not correct
<textarea>
valid phone 1
valid phone 2
valid phone 3
valid phone 4
...
valid phone 10
valid phone 11 <-- there must be 10 phones only!
</textarea>

thanks in advance,
Matias

Basically,

^(((\(\d{3}\) ?)|(\d{3}-))?\d{4}-\d{4}(\r?\n)?){1,10}$

Oops, that would allow "(123) 2334-1222(123) 2334-1222" for example because
of the conditional \r\n, you want:

^(((\(\d{3}\) ?)|(\d{3}-))?\d{4}-\d{4}(\r?\n|$)){1,10}

Visual RegExp? That sounds terrible.. what do you do, drag and drop
expressions? :).

I don't work with any special tools for RegExps, I use my good old reliable
code editor, after a few years of RegExping that way it comes as natural as
any other piece of code.

Anyway, I'm glad it worked out for you and you're welcome :).
