in thread Please evaluate: RegEx for validating e-mail addresses
First of all thanks for replying and for your tips about the ways of writing ([a-z]|[0-9])+. Let's see the rest of your reply:
x) what's about _ and uppercase letters? -> \w instead of a-z0-9
The underscore is captured on item 3:
3) (\-|\_)* : Possibly a dash or underscore.
x) what about user@my-domain.tld ?
x) x.@domain.tld seems ok
Good points. Thanks for pointing them.
BTW: with the flag /x you can write regexes more readable and comment them
True, but I want to make a regex as generic as possible, so I can use it with other langs such as JavaScript and PHP for an example.
Thanks a lot. This was exactly the kind of reply I was looking for. :)
