Question

I have a string that could have email address in two different ways

way 1: str = " text text. Recipient: [e-mail]";
way 2: str = " text text. Recipient Email: [e-mail]";

In javascript I am using the following to see if there is an email address

test.match(/Recipient:\s(\w+@\w+.\w+)/);

but this works only for way 1 where its Recipient. I want to match it for either Recipient Or Recipient Email.

How would I modify the above to support both clauses?
thanks

Answer 1

I’d add this to your regex

(?: Email)?

The non-capture group is a little more explicit than other solutions provided here
