valid-phone-num.sh

Q. - Given a text file file.txt that contains a list of phone numbers (one per line), write a one-liner bash script to print all valid phone numbers.
You may assume that a valid phone number must appear in one of the following two formats: (xxx) xxx-xxxx or xxx-xxx-xxxx. (x means a digit)
You may also assume each line in the text file must not contain leading or trailing white spaces.

  Example:
Assume that file.txt has the following content:
987-123-4567
123 456 7890
(123) 456-7890
Your script should output the following valid phone numbers:
987-123-4567
(123) 456-7890

Solution - Use of Grep command to validate the number

# Read from the file file.txt and output all valid phone numbers to stdout.
grep -P '^(\d{3}-|\(\d{3}\) )\d{3}-\d{4}$' file.txt
