Try this var string_name = /^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{4}$/; My guess is you are trying to validate a phone number? On Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 10:03 AM, Rad! <conradakunga@gmail.com> wrote:
What i would personally do is use regular expression replacement
Your search regex will be as follows
.{4}
That will match every four characters
The replacement regex will be as follows
$&-
That will replace each match i.e. each four characters with the match and then add a dash after

Try this.....
$orig_string = "123456789"; $insert_string = "-"; $position = "4"; $newstring=substr_replace($orig_string, $insert_string, $position, 0); echo $newstring;

Anyone got an idea of an internal PHP function that would enable me to insert a symbol e.g. '-' after every 4 characters in a String? e.g. 12345678 becomes 1234-5678.
