Discussion on: Daily Challenge #32 - Hide Phone Numbers

[Héctor Pascual]

My python sol :

import re

def hide_number(phone):
    if re.match(r"^(?:\d{3}-){2}\d{4}", phone):
        return re.sub(r"\d{2}-\d{4}", "XX-XXXX", phone, 2)
    else:
        return False

One liner (lambda exp) :

hide_number = lambda phone: re.sub(r"\d{2}-\d{4}", "XX-XXXX", phone, 2) \  
       if re.match(r"^(?:\d{3}-){2}\d{4}", phone) else False
