regular expression dutch telephonenumbers
Posted by info on 16th April 2012
For the dutch telephone numbers is a list of prefixes defined (see http://statisch.detelefoongids.nl/static/nl_NL/netnummer.html)Â and the place of the – and spaces is defined in a NEN description 2132.(http://taaladvies.net/taal/advies/tekst/53/)
If you also want to check for the correct prefixes in your form validation here is a sample expression that checks this all: (this doesnt backtrack the existence of first added “(” to validate “()” pair) and uses ungreedy grouping for better performance.
