Regex for multiple email addresses in one line

Question

I currently have this regex:

/\w+@\w+\.\w+/

It works great for a string like this one:

foo@bar.com, bar@foo.com, far@boo.com

However, it doesn't work for emails with two periods before or after the "@", for example:

foo.bar@bar.edu.fr

How can I modify the regex for it to work with the second string as well?

Thanks! : )

Answer 1

Use a character class instead of \w and add . into it. Something like this:

/^[a-zA-Z0-9_.]+@[a-zA-Z0-9_.]+$/

Answer 2

That's not surprising given you've hardcoded one period in your regex. Use \S+ to match any non-whitespace character:

>>> re.findall(r"\S+@\S+", "foo.bar@bar.edu.fr")
['foo.bar@bar.edu.fr']
