restricting numbers of digit length in regex

Question

Here is my regex to validate a phone number.

((^\(?(?:(?:0(?:0|11)\)?[\s-]?\(?|\+)44\)?[\s-]?\(?(?:0\)?[\s-]?\(?)?|0)(?:\d{2}\)?[\s-]?\d{4}[\s-]?\d{4}|\d{3}\)?[\s-]?\d{3}[\s-]?\d{3,4}|\d{4}\)?[\s-]?(?:\d{5}|\d{3}[\s-]?\d{3})|\d{5}\)?[\s-]?\d{4,5}|8(?:00[\s-]?11[\s-]?11|45[\s-]?46[\s-]?4\d))(?:(?:[\s-]?(?:x|ext\.?\s?|\#)\d+)?)$)|(\(?[2-9][0-8][0-9]\)?[-. ]?[0-9]{3}[-. ]?[0-9]{4}))|(?:\((\+?\d+)?\)|(\+\d{0,3}))? ?\d{2,3}([-\.]?\d{2,3} ?){3,4}

Here is the link for regex check http://regex101.com/r/xO4aU4

it validates UK US numbers. lower bound of Range of the number is 7 and higher bound is not restricted.

can I restrict it so that if range of the number is if less then 7 or greater then 14 then it should not filter the number at all.

(\+44)?\s?\(?0?\d{1,5}\)?\s\d{1,7}\s{0,1}\d{0,6}(?:\s-\s|\s)\s{0,2}\d{0,6}|(\+44)?\s?\(?\d{1,5}\)?\s\d{1,7}\s{0,1}\d{0,4}\s{0,1}\d{0,4}|(\+44)?\s?\(\d{1,5}\)\s?\d{3,7}\s?\d{0,4}\s?\d{0,4}|\d{4,5}\s*\d{3,5}\s\d{3,4} 

That is a regex I use for Uk phone numbers (landlines) <- it is used in screen scraping sites so it is probably a little more robust and matches edge cases (such as people who put +44(0)1772 99 33 66) - it is used couple with string length checks and doesn't account for extension numbers - but you should put extension numbers as seperate field anyway.

I have no idea about US numbers so sorry can't help there!
