How to useRegExp in Javascript
- A RegExp is used to replace the original phone number with a human-readable phone number.
- The RegExp is searching for the 3 digits and saves it in a variable($1 for the first 3 digits, $2 for the second 3 digits, and so on.)
- In the end, It is just concatenating them with ‘-‘ among them.
Example: This example implements the above approach.
Javascript
const phoneNo = '4445556678';function formatNumber() { console.log( phoneNo .replace( /(\d{3})(\d{3})(\d{4})/, '$1-$2-$3' ) );}formatNumber(); |
Output
444-555-6678
