Regex to check if there are at least x number of digits in a phone number string
This post gives you a regex so you can check if there are at least x numbers in a string. This is ideal for phone number fields where you don't care about the format but you do want there to be some numbers.
At work today I had an interesting problem to solve. I needed to validate a phone number field with a regex and without caring about the format of the phone number.
The client just wanted there to be at least 6 numbers in the phone number field. So on our stand up zoom call I asked for help and my boss came up with this regex which works a treat.
I've shared it here in case anyone else is looking for something similar.
^.*\d.*\d.*\d.*\d.*\d.*\d.*$It's as simple as that. I was then able to use it in Umbraco Forms on phone number text fields.
If you want to increase the amount of numbers you are looking for, just add another *\d.
