The idea is good, but the implementation seems to be too complicated.

Do you know about '?' in regular expressions? Unless I'm missing
something, the line above is equivalent to

[[0-9][0-9]?[0-9]?[0-9]?-])

> +    [[0-9]-[0-9] | [0-9]-[0-9][0-9] | [0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9]] | \

The same applies here. By the way, you probably should quote the whole
block instead of separate lines.
