[SOLVED] using .match

[eon201]

Hi,

Im using the .match command to check to see if the value of a form starts with "+44" and if so raise an alert.

That bit is pretty easy but what I cant get it to do is check that the value starts with "+44" AND THEN check if there are any of the numbers "3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 0".

Here is the code.

Any help would be greatly appreciatted.

Code: Select all

             if (temp.match(/^\+44/ && [3|4|5|6|8|9|0])
             {
             alert("Please enter a valid UK Phone number including area code");
            document.callmeback_form.telephone.focus();
            document.callmeback_form.telephone.style.background = '#FF8600';
            document.callmeback_form.telephone.style.border = "1px solid #A5ACB2";
            document.callmeback_form.telephone.style.width = "132px";
            document.callmeback_form.telephone.style.height = "15px";
             return false;
             }

You can try

if (temp.match(/^(\+44 )([3-6]|[8-9]|0|1){1}/))

[eon201]

for some reason that doesnt seem to work. It doesnt raise the alert if you put in a number such as +443392666666.

Any ideas???

Thanks as usual to Rakuli

[eon201]

hang on... I dont think I explained the situation well enough in the first place.

It needs to check if the number begins with +44 if so, it checks to see if the 4th character is either 3,4,5,6,8,9 and if both are true raise the alert.

Sorry about that rakuli.

Thanks eon.

Okay,

if (temp.match(/^(\+44 )([3-6]{1}|[8-9]{1}|0|1)/))

[eon201]

still not working... I cant see why??

Here is the full code just incase I have mucked another rule up somewhere....

Code: Select all

Thanks again Rakuli!!

Hey,

Ive fixed it now by using....

Code: Select all

if (temp.match(/^(\+443|\+444|\+445|\+446|\+447|\+448|\+449)$/))

Thanks for your help rakuli!!

[Rakuli]

Hmm, usually pretty good with regex but haven't used in a while - not sure why it's not matching...

if (temp.match(/^(\+44[3-6]{1}|\+44[8-9]{1}|\+44[0-1]{1})/))

Thanks Rakuli.

Always helpfull!
