Phone number regex

[tJ]

Hi

I'd like to validate a string input as a phone number using a regex
matcher. This is the criteria:
* at least 10 numbers,
* only numeric and the following special characters should be allowed:
'+' '-' '(' ')' and spaces

The closest I've been able to find is ^[-\d()\s]*$ :-(

Thank you in advance,
tJ

Here's a sample
What I am expecting
"(123) 456-7890"
The Reg-Ex that validates if it what I am expecting
(("^\(?\d{3}\)?\s|-\d{3}-\d{4}$"))

You could base of from this, hope it helps.

Thanks
