Validate US area codes are valid or not in phone number field

Robot Framework
1

Hello All,
I have a phone number field in my application. After entering the US area code + mobile number , We have to validate whether the area code + number in US are valid or not . Looks like there are more than 50 area code . Reference - State Area Codes – 50states . Can someone suggest how to achieve this in robot framework .

Hi @smitha,

You didn’t mention if you needed to determine the state for the area code if it is a US area code? In the example below I logged the state, but if you don’t need it &{USAreaCodes} reference variable could be a simple list instead of a dictionary.

You’ll need to finish constructing the &{USAreaCodes} dictionary of area codes, but something like the example below should do what you want.

Dave.

Thank you so much for your quick response . I have few clarifications . In the below image, when we select US it has to accept the (3 digit US area code)+(7 digit number) and if its not an US area code it will display an error.

I’m not sure what your question is?

you could cycle through area code numbers sequentially from 000 to 999, use the keyword I gave you or an adapted version to check if the area code is valid, then based on that when you enter the number you can test for the presence of the error message you expect if it not a valid area code and test for the non-presence of the error message if it is a valid area code. if you are not testing the numbers them selves you can probably just use 111-1111 as the number to keep things simple.
