tel number validation

[judithSampathwa]

hi there,
i have been asking this question every time.

public bool ValidateTelNo(string TelNo)
        {
            bool value = false;

            
                string rePhoneNumber = @"[1-9]\d{2}\s?\d{3}\d{4}$";
                string PhoneNoFormat = @"\([1-9]\d{2}\)\s?\d{3}\-\d{4}$";

                Regex re = new Regex(rePhoneNumber);
                Regex re1 = new Regex(PhoneNoFormat);

                if (re.IsMatch(TelNo) || (re1.IsMatch(TelNo)))
                    value = true;

                else
                    value = false;

           

            return value;
        }

in the above code can someone explain rePhoneNumber and PhoneNoFormat ?
what are the valeus that it takes in and what charaters (int string or special)

appriciate
thankx

They are called regular expressions.
Plenty of this stuff to learn from on the net, example: http://gnosis.cx/publish/programming/regular_expressions.html
Success!

If you really, really need this stuff I can only advice you to study things you find on the net. Give you one more example: http://www.regexlab.com/en/regref.htm
