Extract email and name with regex

Question

What would be the regular expressions to extract the name and email from strings like these?

johndoe@example.com
John 
John Doe &l         


        

Answer 1

You can try this (same code as yours but improved), but you need to check returned groups after matching because the email is either returned in group 2 or group 3, depending on whether a name is given.

(?:("?(?:.*)"?)\s)?<(.*@.*)>|(.*@.*)
