Regular Expression Telephone Number Validation

I am trying to validate Phone Numbers that follow the next Pattern

01\d{9} 
2\d{7}

But The user can enter more than one number separated by space or in one input field So I come up with the regular expression 

/(?:(?:01\d{9}$)|(?:2\d{7}$) ){1,}
A Test Sample
"01226113130 26322612 24586154 01004598654"

My Expression Doesn't match this sample, any help ?

Solution For others if they fail in the problem, You can try Jerry Solution or this one

(?:(?:(?:01\d{9}(?:[\- \,])*)|(?:2\d{7}[\- \,]*))){1,}

Try this one:

^(?:(?:01\d{9}|2\d{7}) ){1,}(?:01\d{9}|2\d{7})$

Your current regex has (?:01\d{9}$)|(?:2\d{7}$) where the $ forced it to 'prematurely end' the match, so removing this was the first thing to do. Then (?:01\d{9})|(?:2\d{7}) can be re-written as (?:01\d{9}|2\d{7}). I added a ^ for the beginning of the string.

Afterwards, this regex will only validate strings ending with a space, so add another (?:01\d{9}|2\d{7}) at the end and finally conclude with $.

Oh, also, it might be better to turn the {1,} into * like this:

^(?:(?:01\d{9}|2\d{7}) )*(?:01\d{9}|2\d{7})$
