I feel you have to write different regular expressions based on the country selected as different countries have different formats for phone number and the length may also vary.

There was one more discussion recently on forum for the same. Please go through and see if you could find something useful. Following is discussion link :

use the below regex, it will help you:

if(len(
local!variable
)>10,cons!WARNING_MESG,

{
if(
not(regexmatch("^([0-9]{1,10})$",local!variable)),
"Warning message",
{}
)})

Hi Soumya.Behera ,

You can try below code:
load(
local!number:"1234567890",
like(local!number,"[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]")
)

Thanks
Abhishek

The regular expression syntax is the same, but the flags are sometimes handled differently depending on the Appian RegEx plugin you're using. There are also some things that Appian can do that JavaScript cannot, such as positive and negative lookbehind.

This site is for Javascript regex. Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't this format not compatible with Appian regular expression acceptable format?

Well, given most countries have their own phone number syntax, you'll need a different regex for each. I'd suggest having a look through the examples on http://regexr.com/ - and using that to construct your regex as it's very helpful.

Let's say, for most countries. Then what?
