Remove all of the spaces, tabs, and other whitespace characters before
searching for numbers:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $str = "This is my string my mobile number is 042-6715171 0 30 0- 4
4 5 9 8 9 9, 0 42-84 94 94 9, 0 4 1 - 85 80 8 8 0 now the string is
complete";
(my $tmp = $str) =~ s/\s+//g;
while ($tmp =~ /(([0-9]{3,4}[-]?)?[0-9]{7})/g) {
my $tel = $1;
print "$tel\n";
}
