I tried to make regex to validate phone number in format +38(0XX)XXX-XX-XX or 0XX-XXX-XX-XX. My regex is: '^(\+38)*(\(*0\d{2}\)*)[-|\s](\d{3})[-|\s]((\d{2})-|\s)+$'. And it's not matched any way. I reread re syntax a couple of times, can't get how to make it right.

UPDATE: Making the regex to match strictly as per the comments.
This regex should work according to your requirements
^((\+38)?\(0\d{2}\)|0\d{2})[-\s]\d{3}([-\s]\d{2}){2}$
This matches +38(022)-333-33-44, (022)-333-33-44 and 022-333-33-44

this will also match 022-333-33-44-77-33-44-23-56 and 045 333 44-37 :)

@scriptmonster OP had
+ in the end, I didn't want to change his regex completely. If needed he can replace + in the end with {2} or {3} as required. Also looks like OP's regex had both - and \s as possible delimiters.scriptmonster
Well but it will match with +38(022-333-33-44, +38022)-333-33-44 and +38022-333-33-44. I don't think that he's aware of that.

@scriptmonster I updated the regex to be more strict. Hope you won't rip it off any more ;)
This is an another option. It looks for exact formats that you mentioned.
'^(\+38\(0\d{2}\)\d{3}(-\d{2}){2})|(0\d{2}-\d{3}(-\d{2}){2})$'
+38(0XX)-XXX-XX-XXby looking at your regex.
