Validate phone number using java regular expression

In this example we are going to be validating any phone number. We are going to put following checks against any phone number under test.

  • The phone number should be 10 digit number.
  • Splitted by hi-fen(-) and the end result should look like xxx-xxx-xxxx

package com.amzi.xml;

import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;

public class ValidatePhoneNumber {
 public static void main(String[] args) {

  String phNumber = "123-222-3333";
  //String phNumber = "123 123 1234";

  Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("\\d{3}-\\d{3}-\\d{4}");
  Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(phNumber);

  if (matcher.matches()) {
   System.out.println("Phone Number is Valid");
  } else {
   System.out
   .println("Phone Number isn't in this formate XXX-XXX-XXXX");
  }
 }
}

Output
Phone Number is Valid
