Flash / Flex / ActionScript/Regular Expressions/Phone Number

Extracting phone number

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
       var contactNumbers:String =
           "Los Angeles: 310-222-2225\n" +
           "New York: 212-222-2499\n" +
           "Boston: 617-222-2222";
       var nyPhone:RegExp = /New York: (\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4})/;
       var matches:Array = contactNumbers.match(nyPhone);
       trace(matches[1]); //212-222-2499
   }
 }

}

       </source>
   
  

insisting that the line end right after the phone number:

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
       var officeAndPhone:RegExp = /^([\w\s]+): (\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4})$/;
       trace(officeAndPhone.test(">>>New York: 212-222-2499")); //false
       trace(officeAndPhone.test("New York: 212-222-2499 (fax)")); //false

   }
 }

}

       </source>
   
  

Match a phone number

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
       var document:String = "My name is John Doe, SSN 123-45-6789,I live at 120 Birch st...";
       var ssn:RegExp = /\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}/g;
       document = document.replace(ssn, "<SSN REMOVED>");
       trace(document);
   }
 }

}

       </source>
