Jul 21, 2015 at 16:47	comment	added	jonrsharpe		I know that - I mean that it matches e.g. `'1-800)-123-4567'`, which may be undesirable
Jul 21, 2015 at 16:45	comment	added	codedude		@jonrsharpe Sometimes parenthesis aren't required when entering a phone number so I didn't require them. Also I didn't know about named catpure groups. Thanks for the heads up :)
