Hi,
Seems to work! But the number is a zero you have to add an extra escape:
(\\0+\3+\\0+\9+)
or you get ERROR 1139 (42000): Got error 'parentheses not balanced' from regexp
Thank you!!

Hi
I am a bit of novice at Regexp, but I believe this will work for you
(\d+\d+\d+).*(\d+\d+\d+).*(\d+\d+\d+\d+)

Subject: regular expressions matching only numeric characters in order
Dear All,
I'm trying to create a regular expression query to match phone numbers
in a database field.
My issue is this , the numbers have no set standard for input in the db.
So the number in the db could be in multiple formats.
EX:
333.333.3333
(333)333-3333
333-333-3333
3333333333
So I am wanting to find matches and ignore any non-numeric values and
need some help with the expression.
The query would be something like:
SELECT tel FROM leads WHERE do_not_call = '1' AND tel REGEXP 'the
expression'
The number I am looking for will already have all the non numerics
stripped and will be in the format of nnnnnnnnnn.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Paul
