There is no universal regex for this, you must specify exactly all formats you want to match.

Well, for the examples you give above the next pattern would apply.

^(Phone Number\s:\s)(((\d{3}-){2}\d{4})|(((\d{3}\d){2}\d{4}))|($\d{3}$\s{1}\d{3}\s{1}\d{4}))$

I had a more compact expression but it gave me the opportunity to match mixes of the three examples and I have no idea if that is what you want.

It will probably not cover every format you want to support, but it gives you a good starting point.

Hope it helps!
