Regex for email matching

Question

I am using this regex to match email addresses in a string.

Everything works fine here: http://regexr.com?31e5a with this regex:

([\\w-\\.]+)@((?:[\         


        

Answer 1

You pattern is close, you just need to use the global flag and not capture the inner parts of each email acount. I hope it helps.

var re = /(?:[\w-\.]+)@(?:(?:[\w]+\.)+)(?:[a-zA-Z]{2,4})/g;
var emailsString = 'aaaaaaa@bbbb.com xxxxxxx cccccc@ffffdd.com';
var emails = emailsString.match(re); // ["aaaaaaa@bbbb.com", "cccccc@ffffdd.com"]
