Is there a way to check, with a regular expression, that only numerics, commas and dashes exist in a string -- and that it begins and ends with a numeric?

I tried:

/^[0-9\-\,]$/

but this expression rejects strings that contain only numerics, commas and dashes ( ex: 06072501796-06072501798, 06072501799 )
