Need Help With A Line Of Code by Nobody: 8:40pm On Jan 08, 2019
I'm working on a very large text with email addresses scattered. I need to make a compilation of all the email addresses and tried to use the FIND command with the wildcard. I used this little lines of strings [A-z,0-9]{1,}\@[A-z,0-9,\.]{1,} and this highlighted all the email addresses on the page but I discovered some complications. This particular one is highlighting all e-mail addresses but having problem with email addresses with special character. Eg. It highlights an email address like Nairaland@yahoo.com but if it sees an email address like naira-land@yahoo.com, it starts highlighting from land@yahoo.com ignoring the naira.

I've changed some numbers and added special characters but face other problems. Can someone help me write a more complete code that can find all the email addresses including those with special characters? Where do I need to add more numbers or special characters? Please I need this urgently to hasten my completion of this project.

If you are coding php, you can use filter to validate and serialize your email field

I think regex will be ok. Whatever solves my issue though

I'm not actually coding. Just sorting emails on normal Windows application softwares. Do you know about wildcards?

Try this regex....

/^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\._]+)@([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\._]+)\.([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]{2,5})$/

There are many sites where you could find regexes for your purpose, try Google

try this regex
[-A-Za-z0-9]+@[-A-Za-z0-9]+\.\w+ it should solve the problem described above.

Thanks everyone for input but non of the regex solved this problem. The regex might be correct but not working with wildcards. Anybody with good knowledge about regex and wildcards should help
