I am trying create regex witch will start with some number like 230, 420, 7456. Then could be some number in interval 1-9 but the final length must be 9.
For example 230888333 or 745623777
I create this:
([(230|420|7456)[0-9]{1,}]{9})
But it is not correct. Any idea how to make this correct?
Thaks.
The pattern that you tried is not anchored, and the current notation uses a character class [...] instead of a grouping (the ]{9} part at the end repeats 9 times a ] char)
If you use C# then use [0-9] to match a digit 0-9.
You can either assert 9 digits in total:
^(?=[0-9]{9}$)(?:230|420|7456)[0-9]+$
Or write an alternation for different leading lengths of digits:
^(?:(?:230|420)[0-9]{6}|7456[0-9]{5})$
You can simply add a check for length first and then simple regex
function checkString(str){
return str.length === 9 && /^(?:230|420|7456)\d+$/.test(str)
}
console.log(checkString("230888333"))
console.log(checkString("745623777"))
console.log(checkString("123"))
console.log(checkString("230888333123"))
