Android Question Extract phone number from a string

[svk123]

Hello,

I have a string similar to the one mentioned below that I am displaying in a label inside a scrollview:
"Last called John on 21/12/2016. Call again 9013451234 on 21/1/2017."

Is there any function that can recognize the position of the phone number from the string above, like look for consecutive 10 or 12 numbers in the string? I can then put a "<a href='tel:9013451234'>9013451234</a>" for the next 10 or 12 characters so that when user clicks it, the control will go to the phone dialer.

Or

Is there any other method to recognize the phone number from the string?

Thanks,
Sachin

Dim s As String = "Last called John on 21/12/2016. Call again 9013451234 on 21/1/2017."
Dim s2 As String = Regex.Replace("\d{10,12}", s, "<a href='tel:$0'>$0</a>")
Log(s2)

Thank you for your reply Erel. I am getting an unknown member error for regex.replace . I am using b4a v6.0. Am I missing a library?

It was added in a newer version of B4A. Search the forum you should be able to find an implementation based on JavaObject.
