Regular expression which accept both email address and 10 digit phone number

Question

I need an regular expression which accept 10 digit phone number and also email address with one input textfield.

Example :

Phonenumber: 1234567890

Emailaddress : [email protected] or [email protected]

Can any one advice me to get that regular expression. @KiranMac123

you mean this `^(?:\d{10}|\w+@\w+\.\w{2,3})$` – Avinash Raj Nov 08 '14 at 06:12 — Avinash Raj, Nov 08 '14 at 06:12

Use the below regex to match the 10 digit phone number or an email address.

^(?:\d{10}|\w+@\w+\.\w{2,3})$

`\w+@\w+\.\w{2,3}` is nowhere close to good enough to match all valid email addresses. See http://stackoverflow.com/a/201378/9530 for why. – Adam Rosenfield Nov 08 '14 at 06:22

I would simply do this:

^(.+@.+|\d{10})$

Note that this regex does not match all valid email addresses. And it does match some that are not valid. But for most cases it's good enough.

Unless you have a good reason, I would strongly advice against using a regex to check email addresses. Read here why
