Question

Hey everyone, I’m trying to type a regular expression that follows the following format:

[e-mail] or [e-mail]

There are no special characters or numbers permitted for this criteria. I thought I had it down, but I’m a bit rusty with regular expressions and when I tested mine, it failed all across the boards. So far, my regular is expression is:

^[a-zA-Z]+/.?[a-zA-Z]*@[a-zA-Z]+/.?[a-zA-Z]*/.com$

If anyone could help me, it would greatly be appreciated, thanks.

Answer 1

your regex looks good. I think you need to change the / to \ in front of the . .
Additionally, if you don’t want someone.@somewhere..com pass your regex, u should change your regex to

^[a-zA-Z]+(\.[a-zA-Z]+)?@[a-zA-Z]+(\.[a-zA-Z]+)?\.com$

(not completely sure about the brackets () though, but i think that should be working)
