The “official” fool-proof regex to match email addresses known as RFC 5322: (?:[a-z0-9!#$%&’*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&’*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)* | “(?:[\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x21\x23-\x5b\x5d-\x7f] | \\[\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x7f])*”) @ (?:(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])? | \[(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.){3} (?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?|[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]: (?:[\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x21-\x5a\x53-\x7f] | \\[\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x7f])+) \]) A more practical implementation of RFC 5322 if we omit the syntax using double quotes and square brackets.
