Then fill Data field with a value you want to test. In our example it
is "521552478". Finally click on Run. On Figure 2 you can see that
there is a match (as "521552478" starts with 521) and the
Result is "521552478".
Figure 2 - Regular expression match
Figure 3 demonstrates what happens if the phone number does
not start with 521. In our example "521552478" is specified in
Data field and as it does not start with 521 there is no
match.
