I'd like a regex that is either X or Y characters long. For example, match a string that is either 8 or 11 characters long. I have currently implemented this like so: ^([0-9]{8}|[0-9]{11})$
.
I could also implement it as: ^[0-9]{8}([0-9]{3})?$
My question is: Can I have this regex without duplicating the [0-9]
part (which is more complex than this simple d
example)?
