It works for me also.  It should match anything starting with a digit
optionally followed by digits, dashes and commas, so the following
should match:

    0
    10
    01-
    0-1
    111,222,555-766

as an example but:

  a0
  01a
  0-a

would not match.

What is the bigger context of your regex (i.e. what code surrounds it)?
