out of interest, why are you forcing you're users to conform to that
input format? you could simply strip all non-numeric chars then
format how you like to save, thus giving users a looser, more
friendly, experience.

This expression will be used to search a database which will contain
patient data resulting from medical research. At the initial visit a
medical record number will be assigned to the patient. Other
information will be collected at that point; eg, the telephone
number. At subsequent visits, the patient will be referenced by
his/hers medical record number. If the patient either forgot their
clinic card, or cannot remember their medical record number, a search
will be performed. One of the many parameters that can be used in
the search is the phone number. It is easier if all the data has a
fixed format. The form for the initial visit will use a regex that
will validate the phone number. As the research will be performed in
the US, only US numbers have to be validated.
Hope this helps.
