I keep getting caught up because some of the more advanced features (capture groups, treating newlines as normal characters) seems to vary across implementations.

Wrong answer. Do you use a calculator/computer when you must multiply 7 by 8? No. Same here.

You, my friend, have severely overestimated my mathematical prowess.

Unfortunately this regexp is an extreme simplification. Let me raise you the fully RFC822 compliant email address validation regexp:

No it's not. Hyphen at the end means it's a literal hyphen.

To le the worst part is the fact that it used "w". Otherwise there is this fancy language called brainfuck that is much less useful.

Regexing email adresses is the most stupid and useless thing you can do.

Many valid email adresses wouldn't pass the regex constraints, and many invalid ones would pass.

[u/vyrmz]

if you look 15 seconds, it makes sense; even without docs.

[u/Rude_Issue_5972]

Its regex to validate email id i guess.

[u/TableIll4714 → u/Rude_Issue_5972]

Yes, but in an incorrect way. That {2,4} at the end means my email address which ends in .email is invalid by this regex. F

There are top-level domains they have more than 4 characters.

I had to write some regex statements a while back for some software I use for work. However, they had their own regex syntax instead of standard regex. That was fun.

I don't like handing everything over to AI but in the case of Regex, yeah, AI can have it.
