Can anyone help me or direct me to build a regex to validate repeating numbers
eg : 11111111, 2222, 99999999999, etc
It should validate for any length.

I used this expression to give me all phone numbers that are all the same digit.
Basically, it means to give 9 repetitions of the original first repetition of a given number, which results in 10 of the same number in a row.
([0-9])\1{9}
you can get repeted text or numbers easily by backreference take a look on following example:
this code simply means whatever the pattern inside [] . ([inside pattern]) the \1 will go finding same as inside pattern forward to that.
