Here is the regex I'm using: > > ^(?!\d[1]{2}|[5]{3})([2-9]\d{2})([-])\d{4}$ start yourself in a controlled environment, instead of trying to comeup with the endless ways a number can be formated and remove all non digits, then simply test the condistion of the string if substr(0,1) == 0 || substr(0,1) == 1 fail if substr(0,3) == 555 fail if substr(1,2) == 11 fail if strlen != 7 fail Curt -- First, let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes you've been hearing about. No, sir. Our model is the trapezoid!
