    (?:\d{3}-){2}(?:\d{4}) would match a ten digit us-format phone number, though I’d recommend using two literally instead of a repeat for maintainability reasons. Regex needs no assistance being terse and obtuse, humans need time to understand regex patterns, even ones they wrote not long ago. Make that part easier on your collaborators, and treat your past and future selves like remote asynchronous collaborators, always.
