Validation Reg ex of ( ).

[Bakul Kumar <ba...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I want to validate the telephone number. I want to allow 0-9, *, +,-,(,
SPACE and ).
That means it should allow : (240) 643-9325

For that I tried :
                <var>
                    <var-name>mask</var-name>
                    <var-value>^[0-9()x+. -]*$</var-value>
                </var>

This is working fine. But, I don't have any control in RegEx to check
whether user has entered valid set of '(' and ')'. I mean, its allowing  :
(240( 643-9325 as a valid number.

If you have an idea of how to check the sequece of brackets '(' and ')'.
Please share it with me.

regards,
Bakul.

Probably best to google for help on this - or as on a mailing list
related to regular expressions:
