Regex Email validation

I use this

@"^([\w\.\-]+)@([\w\-]+)((\.(\w){2,3})+)$"

regexp to validate the email

([\w\.\-]+) - this is for the first-level domain (many letters and numbers, also point and hyphen)

([\w\-]+) - this is for second-level domain

((\.(\w){2,3})+) - and this is for other level domains(from 3 to infinity) which includes a point and 2 or 3 literals

what's wrong with this regex?

EDIT:it doesn't match the "[email protected]" email

I have an expression for checking email addresses that I use.

Since none of the above were as short or as accurate as mine, I thought I would post it here.

@"^[\w!#$%&'*+\-/=?\^_`{|}~]+(\.[\w!#$%&'*+\-/=?\^_`{|}~]+)*"
+ "@"
+ @"((([\-\w]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,4})|(([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}))$";

For more info go read about it here: C# – Email Regular Expression

Also, this checks for RFC validity based on email syntax, not for whether the email really exists. The only way to test that an email really exists is to send an email and have the user verify they received the email by clicking a link or entering a token.

Then there are throw-away domains, such as Mailinator.com, and such. This doesn't do anything to verify whether an email is from a throwaway domain or not.

At the moment for me the best approach is to use the FluentValidation library. It has a built-in validator for the email address. Usage is very simple and you don't have to think about regex.

using FluentValidation;
public class TestClass
{
   public string Email { get; set; }
}

public class TestClassValidator: AbstractValidator<TestClass>
{
   public TestClassValidator()
   {            
      RuleFor(x => x.Email).EmailAddress().WithMessage($"nameof{(TestClass.Email)} is not a valid email address");
   }
}

I realize the question was asked a long time ago, but maybe refreshing the answer with a newer approach will help someone.

Here is my solution after gathering info from here and Microsoft documents:

/// <summary>
/// * TLD support from 2 to 5 chars (modify the values as you want)
/// * Supports: [email protected]
/// * Non-sensitive case 
/// * Stops operation if takes longer than 250ms and throw a detailed exception
/// </summary>
/// <param name="email"></param>
/// <returns>valid: true | invalid: false </returns>
/// <exception cref="ArgumentException"></exception>

private bool validateEmailPattern(string email) {
    try {
        return Regex.IsMatch(email,
            @"^([\w\.\-]+)@([\w\-]+)((\.(\w){2,5})+)$",
            RegexOptions.None, TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(250));
    } catch (RegexMatchTimeoutException) {
        // throw an exception explaining the task was failed 
        _ = email ?? throw new ArgumentException("email, Timeout/failed regexr processing.", nameof(email));
    }
}

I use:

public bool ValidateEmail(string email)
{
   Regex regex = new Regex("^[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?$");
   if (regex.IsMatch(email))
      return true;

     return false;
}

TLD's like .museum aren't matched this way, and there are a few other long TLD's. Also, you can validate email addresses using the MailAddress class as Microsoft explains here in a note:

Instead of using a regular expression to validate an email address, you can use the System.Net.Mail.MailAddress class. To determine whether an email address is valid, pass the email address to the MailAddress.MailAddress(String) class constructor.

public bool IsValid(string emailaddress)
{
    try
    {
        MailAddress m = new MailAddress(emailaddress);

        return true;
    }
    catch (FormatException)
    {
        return false;
    }
}

This saves you a lot af headaches because you don't have to write (or try to understand someone else's) regex.

EDIT: For those who are allergic to try/catch: In .NET 5 you can use MailAddress.TryCreate. See also https://stackoverflow.com/a/68198658, including an example how to fix .., spaces, missing .TLD, etc.

As an update to the popular answer of Alex: In .NET 5 MailAddress now has a TryCreate. So you can do something like:

public static bool IsValidEmail(string email)
{
    if (!MailAddress.TryCreate(email, out var mailAddress))
        return false;

    // And if you want to be more strict:
    var hostParts = mailAddress.Host.Split('.');
    if (hostParts.Length == 1)
        return false; // No dot.
    if (hostParts.Any(p => p == string.Empty))
        return false; // Double dot.
    if (hostParts[^1].Length < 2)
        return false; // TLD only one letter.

    if (mailAddress.User.Contains(' '))
        return false;
    if (mailAddress.User.Split('.').Any(p => p == string.Empty))
        return false; // Double dot or dot at end of user part.

    return true;
}

Email validation using regex

    string pattern = @"\A(?:[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?)\Z";

    //check first string
   if (Regex.IsMatch(EmailId1 , pattern))
   {    
       //if email is valid
        Console.WriteLine(EmailId1+ " is a valid Email address ");
   }

Source: email validation c#

Validation Without Regex using MailAddress.MailAddress(String) class constructor

public bool IsEmailValid(string emailaddress)
{
 try
 {
    MailAddress m = new MailAddress(emailaddress);
    return true;
 }
 catch (FormatException)
 {
    return false;
 }

here is our Regex for this case:

@"^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)@((\[[0-9]{1,3}" +
                       @"\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.)|(([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\" +
                       @".)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,6}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$",

there are three parts, which are checcked. the last one is propably the one you need. the specific term {2,6} indicates you the min/max length of the TLD at the end. HTH

I've created a FormValidationUtils class to validate email:

public static class FormValidationUtils
{
    const string ValidEmailAddressPattern = "^[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\\.[A-Z]{2,6}$";

    public static bool IsEmailValid(string email)
    {
        var regex = new Regex(ValidEmailAddressPattern, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
        return regex.IsMatch(email);
    }
}

This regex works perfectly:

bool IsValidEmail(string email)
{
    return Regex.IsMatch(email, @"^[\w!#$%&'*+\-/=?\^_`{|}~]+(\.[\w!#$%&'*+\-/=?\^_`{|}~]+)*@((([\-\w]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,4})|(([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}))\z");

Just let me know IF it doesn't work :)

public static bool isValidEmail(this string email)
{

    string[] mail = email.Split(new string[] { "@" }, StringSplitOptions.None);

    if (mail.Length != 2)
        return false;

    //check part before ...@

    if (mail[0].Length < 1)
        return false;

    System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex regex = new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(@"^[a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+$");
    if (!regex.IsMatch(mail[0]))
        return false;

    //check part after @...

    string[] domain = mail[1].Split(new string[] { "." }, StringSplitOptions.None);

    if (domain.Length < 2)
        return false;

    regex = new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(@"^[a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+$");

    foreach (string d in domain)
    {
        if (!regex.IsMatch(d))
            return false;
    }

    //get TLD
    if (domain[domain.Length - 1].Length < 2)
        return false;

    return true;

There's no perfect regular expression, but this one is pretty strong, I think, based on study of RFC5322. And with C# string interpolation, pretty easy to follow, I think, as well.

const string atext = @"a-zA-Z\d!#\$%&'\*\+-/=\?\^_`\{\|\}~";
var localPart = $"[{atext}]+(\\.[{atext}]+)*";
var domain = $"[{atext}]+(\\.[{atext}]+)*";
Assert.That(() => EmailRegex = new Regex($"^{localPart}@{domain}$", Compiled), 
Throws.Nothing);

Vetted with NUnit 2.x.

I've been using the Regex.IsMatch().

First of all you need to add the next statement:

using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

Then the method looks like:

private bool EmailValidation(string pEmail)
{
                 return Regex.IsMatch(pEmail,
                 @"^(?("")("".+?(?<!\\)""@)|(([0-9a-z]((\.(?!\.))|[-!#\$%&'\*\+/=\?\^`\{\}\|~\w])*)(?<=[0-9a-z])@))" +
                 @"(?(\[)(\[(\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}\])|(([0-9a-z][-\w]*[0-9a-z]*\.)+[a-z0-9][\-a-z0-9]{0,22}[a-z0-9]))$",
                 RegexOptions.IgnoreCase, TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(250));
}

It's a private method because of my logic but you can put the method as static in another Layer such as "Utilities" and call it from where you need.

This is my favorite approach to this so far:

public static class CommonExtensions
{
    public static bool IsValidEmail(this string thisEmail)
        => !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(thisEmail) &&
           new Regex(@"^([\w\.\-]+)@([\w\-]+)((\.(\w){2,3})+)$").IsMatch(thisEmail);
}

Then use the created string extension like:

if (!emailAsString.IsValidEmail()) throw new Exception("Invalid Email");

The following code is based on Microsoft's Data annotations implementation on github and I think it's the most complete validation for emails:

public static Regex EmailValidation()
{
    const string pattern = @"^((([a-z]|\d|[!#\$%&'\*\+\-\/=\?\^_`{\|}~]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])+(\.([a-z]|\d|[!#\$%&'\*\+\-\/=\?\^_`{\|}~]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])+)*)|((\x22)((((\x20|\x09)*(\x0d\x0a))?(\x20|\x09)+)?(([\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x7f]|\x21|[\x23-\x5b]|[\x5d-\x7e]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])|(\\([\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0d-\x7f]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF]))))*(((\x20|\x09)*(\x0d\x0a))?(\x20|\x09)+)?(\x22)))@((([a-z]|\d|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])|(([a-z]|\d|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])([a-z]|\d|-|\.|_|~|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])*([a-z]|\d|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])))\.)+(([a-z]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])|(([a-z]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])([a-z]|\d|-|\.|_|~|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])*([a-z]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])))\.?$";
    const RegexOptions options = RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase | RegexOptions.ExplicitCapture;

    // Set explicit regex match timeout, sufficient enough for email parsing
    // Unless the global REGEX_DEFAULT_MATCH_TIMEOUT is already set
    TimeSpan matchTimeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2);

    try
    {
        if (AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetData("REGEX_DEFAULT_MATCH_TIMEOUT") == null)
        {
            return new Regex(pattern, options, matchTimeout);
        }
    }
    catch
    {
        // Fallback on error
    }

    // Legacy fallback (without explicit match timeout)
    return new Regex(pattern, options);
}

Regex Email Pattern:

^(?:[\\w\\!\\#\\$\\%\\&\\'\\*\\+\\-\\/\\=\\?\\^\\`\\{\\|\\}\\~]+\\.)*[\\w\\!\\#\\$\\%\\&\\'\\*\\+\\-\\/\\=\\?\\^\\`\\{\\|\\}\\~]+@(?:(?:(?:[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9\\-](?!\\.)){0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9]?\\.)+[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9\\-](?!$)){0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9]?)|(?:\\[(?:(?:[01]?\\d{1,2}|2[0-4]\\d|25[0-5])\\.){3}(?:[01]?\\d{1,2}|2[0-4]\\d|25[0-5])\\]))$

I think your caret and dollar sign are part of the problem You should also modify the regex a little, I use the next @"[ :]+([\w.-]+)@([\w-.])+((.(\w){2,3})+)"

A combination of the above responses. I would use the Microsoft preferred approach of using MailAddress but implement as an extension of string:

public static bool IsValidEmailAddress(this string emailaddress)
    {
        try
        {
            MailAddress m = new MailAddress(emailaddress);
            return true;
        }
        catch (FormatException)
        {
            return false;
        }
    }

Then just validate any string as an email address with:

string customerEmailAddress = "[email protected]";
customerEmailAddress.IsValidEmailAddress()

Clean simple and portable. Hope it helps someone. Regex for emails are messy.

That said MattSwanson has a blog on this very topic and he strongly suggests NOT using regexs and instead just check for '@' abd maybe a dot. Read his explanation here: https://mdswanson.com/blog/2013/10/14/how-not-to-validate-email-addresses.html

To validate your email ID, you can simply create such method and use it. 

    public static bool IsValidEmail(string email)
    {
        var r = new Regex(@"^([0-9a-zA-Z]([-\.\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z])*@([0-9a-zA-Z][-\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z]\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,9})$");
        return !String.IsNullOrEmpty(email) && r.IsMatch(email);
    }

This will return True / False. (Valid / Invalid Email Id)

Best email validation regex 

[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?

And it's usage :- 

bool isEmail = Regex.IsMatch(emailString, @"\A(?:[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?)\Z", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

Why not use EF6 attribute based e-mail validation?

As you can see above, Regex validation for e-mail always has some hole in it. If you are using EF6 data annotations, you can easily achieve reliable and stronger e-mail validation with EmailAddress data annotation attribute available for that. I had to remove the regex validation I used before for e-mail when I got mobile device specific regex failure on e-mail input field. When the data annotation attribute used for e-mail validation, the issue on mobile was resolved.

public class LoginViewModel
{
    [EmailAddress(ErrorMessage = "The email format is not valid")]
    public string Email{ get; set; }

It has taken many attempts to create an email validator which catches nearly all worldwide requirements for email.

Extension method you can call with:

myEmailString.IsValidEmailAddress();

Regex pattern string you can get by calling:

var myPattern = Regex.EmailPattern;

The Code (mostly comments):

    /// <summary>
    /// Validates the string is an Email Address...
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="emailAddress"></param>
    /// <returns>bool</returns>
    public static bool IsValidEmailAddress(this string emailAddress)
    {
        var valid = true;
        var isnotblank = false;

        var email = emailAddress.Trim();
        if (email.Length > 0)
        {
            // Email Address Cannot start with period.
            // Name portion must be at least one character
            // In the Name, valid characters are:  a-z 0-9 ! # _ % & ' " = ` { } ~ - + * ? ^ | / $
            // Cannot have period immediately before @ sign.
            // Cannot have two @ symbols
            // In the domain, valid characters are: a-z 0-9 - .
            // Domain cannot start with a period or dash
            // Domain name must be 2 characters.. not more than 256 characters
            // Domain cannot end with a period or dash.
            // Domain must contain a period
            isnotblank = true;
            valid = Regex.IsMatch(email, Regex.EmailPattern, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase) &&
                !email.StartsWith("-") &&
                !email.StartsWith(".") &&

This does not meet all of the requirements of RFCs 5321 and 5322, but it works with the following definitions.

@"^([0-9a-zA-Z]([\+\-_\.][0-9a-zA-Z]+)*)+"@(([0-9a-zA-Z][-\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z]*\.)+[a-zA-Z0-9]{2,17})$";

Below is the code

const String pattern =
   @"^([0-9a-zA-Z]" + //Start with a digit or alphabetical
   @"([\+\-_\.][0-9a-zA-Z]+)*" + // No continuous or ending +-_. chars in email
   @")+" +
   @"@(([0-9a-zA-Z][-\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z]*\.)+[a-zA-Z0-9]{2,17})$";

var validEmails = new[] {
        "[email protected]",
        "[email protected]",
        "[email protected]",
        "[email protected]",
        "[email protected]",
        "[email protected]",
        "[email protected]",
        "[email protected]",
        "[email protected]",
        "[email protected]",
        "[email protected]",
};
var invalidEmails = new[] {
        "Abc.example.com",     // No `@`
        "A@b@[email protected]",   // multiple `@`
        "[email protected]",      // continuous multiple dots in name
        "[email protected]",            // only 1 char in extension
        "[email protected]",         // continuous multiple dots in domain
        "ma@@jjf.com",         // continuous multiple `@`
        "@majjf.com",          // nothing before `@`
        "[email protected]",         // nothing after `.`
        "[email protected]",         // nothing after `_`
        "ma_@jjf",             // no domain extension 
        "ma_@jjf.",            // nothing after `_` and .
        "ma@jjf.",             // nothing after `.`
    };

foreach (var str in validEmails)
{
    Console.WriteLine("{0} - {1} ", str, Regex.IsMatch(str, pattern));
}
foreach (var str in invalidEmails)
{
    Console.WriteLine("{0} - {1} ", str, Regex.IsMatch(str, pattern));
}

This code will help to validate email id using regex expression in c#.Net..it is easy to use

if (!System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.IsMatch("<Email String Here>", @"^([\w\.\-]+)@([\w\-]+)((\.(\w){2,3})+)$"))
        {
            MessageBox.show("Incorrect Email Id.");
        }

STRING SEARCH USING REGEX METHOD IN C#

How to validate an Email by Regular Expression?

string EmailPattern = @"\w+([-+.']\w+)*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*";
if (Regex.IsMatch(Email, EmailPattern, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase))
{
    Console.WriteLine("Email: {0} is valid.", Email);
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine("Email: {0} is not valid.", Email);
}

Use Reference String.Regex() Method

I think @"^([\w\.\-]+)@([\w\-]+)((\.(\w){2,3})+)$" should work.
You need to write it like

string email = txtemail.Text;
Regex regex = new Regex(@"^([\w\.\-]+)@([\w\-]+)((\.(\w){2,3})+)$");
Match match = regex.Match(email);
if (match.Success)
    Response.Write(email + " is correct");
else
    Response.Write(email + " is incorrect");

Be warned that this will fail if:

  1. There is a subdomain after the @ symbol.

  2. You use a TLD with a length greater than 3, such as .info

Try the Following Code:

using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
if  (!Regex.IsMatch(txtEmail.Text, @"^[a-z,A-Z]{1,10}((-|.)\w+)*@\w+.\w{3}$"))
        MessageBox.Show("Not valid email.");
