RegEx Exclude a specific string even if it meets group criteria
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I am not sure how to explain it in a title so an example will be better.
I am trying to parse phone numbers and general number and I want my phone numbers to not be taken into consideration by my expression.
My text is the following:
My phone numbers are +4405490198756 | 05490198756 | 05 49 01 98 756 and my numbers are 4123-0123-6123-7123 | 4123512361237123 | 4123 5123 6123 7123
My expression is (?:4[0-9]{12}(?:[0-9]{3})?|b(?:d[ -]*?){13,16}b)
Basically, I am taking everything starting by 4 with 12 or 15 characters between 0 and 9 after and I don't consider spaces nor '-'.
My phone number +4405490198756 is included in the result of this regex at least the numeric part since it answers the expression.
I don't want it to be included in the results.
I tried to play with b^[+]d{13,16}b and everything I could think about around that but nothing worked.
Any idea on I should proceed?
Thanks in advance.

If you are writing it in JS,(?:^|[^d+])(4[0-9]{12}(?:[0-9]{3})?|(?:d[ -]*?){13,16})band grab Group 1. Else,(?<![d+])(?:4[0-9]{12}(?:[0-9]{3})?|(?:d[ -]*?){13,16})bmight do (demo).

It's probably easier to filter out your number from the result in the application code rather than trying to do this in the regexp itself.

It's often easy to get caught up in trying to write one RegEx that does everything you need to. Sometimes this is overly complicated, and this is a good example. Rather than trying to exclude one specific match from a pattern here. Match the phone number patterns first, then in a second expression, exclude your phone number.

Why did you put the entire regex into a non-capturing group(?:xxx)?
