Never re-invent the wheel. You are in Darwin, and you should simply use:

And yes, you can simply use grep.

Thus, the solution is really using regex in grep with "-l" option.

A simple regex of the form \(?\d{3}\)?-(\d{3})-(\d{4}) will do for this problem. The idea is to compile or apply the regex to the text contained in various files from the directory. I present a simple solution in Python using regex below. I have used the verbose option to explain each symbol in my regex for clarity:

My solution:

import re
def findPhoneNumbers(text):
  phoneNumberPattern = re.compile(r'''
    \(?     # The particular regex might optionally start with a (
    (\d{3})   # Followed by the area code
    \)?     # Followed optionally by a parenthesis
    -       # Followed by a hyphen
    (\d{3}) # Followed by three digits 
    -       # And a hyphe
    (\d{4}) # And last 4 digits
    ''', re.VERBOSE)
  return phoneNumberPattern.findall(text)

Test code:

text = r'''
<p><b>This is a text string. Phone number is (111)-111-1111.
</b>This is a second phone number which follows a different format of 222-222-2222.</p>
<b>But if I have a phone number which is of the format 333.333.3333, then my regex shouldn't find it.
'''
print(findPhoneNumbers(text))

Output:

[('111', '111', '1111'), ('222', '222', '2222')]
