Normally validation of simple email is:
/^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/
This will validate email like [email protected]
But how to validate if email is multiple?
entry 1: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
entry 2: [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected]
entry 3: [email protected], [email protected] , [email protected]
entry 4: [email protected]
This emails is a possible entries that user will input. Also expect thier is 2 or 3 or 4 or more emails sometimes.
Thanks for the answers.

Javascript multiple email regexp validation in ruby dynamic data
<span id="error_message_<%= item.id %>" class="p-3 mb-2 text-danger text-center">Multiple emails must be separated by comma.</span>
<%= text_field_tag :email, nil, style: 'width: 60%;', required: true, id: "emails_#{item.id}", placeholder: "Multiple emails must be separated by comma." %>
$(document).ready(function() {
document.getElementById("cc_submit_<%= item.id %>").disabled = true;
document.getElementById('error_message_<%= item.id %>').style.display='none';
});
$('#emails_<%= item.id %>').keyup( function() {
var emails = $('#emails_<%= item.id %>').val();
var emails = emails.split(",");
var valid = true;
var regex = /^(([^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@\"]+(\.[^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@\"]+)*)|(\".+\"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/;
var invalidEmails = [];
for (var i = 0; i < emails.length; i++) {
emails[i] = emails[i].trim();
if( emails[i] == "" || ! regex.test(emails[i])){
invalidEmails.push(emails[i]);
}
}
if(invalidEmails != 0) {
document.getElementById("cc_submit_<%= item.id %>").disabled = true;
document.getElementById("error_message_<%= item.id %>").style.display='block';
}
else{
document.getElementById("cc_submit_<%= item.id %>").disabled = false;
document.getElementById('error_message_<%= item.id %>').style.display='none';
}
})

Here is a regex for multiple mail validation without split
function validateMultipleEmails(string) {
var regex = /^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)@([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.)+([a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+)+([;]([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)@([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.)+([a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+))*$/;
return regex.test(string);
}

function validateEmail(emailAddress) {
var emailPattern = /^(([^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@\"]+(\.[^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@\"]+)*)|(\".+\"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/;
return emailPattern.test(emailAddress);
}
function validate() {
$("#result").text("");
var email = $("#emailAddress").val();
if (validateEmail(email)) {
$("#result").text(email + " validation successful");
$("#result").css("color", "white");
} else {
$("#result").text(email + " validation failed");
$("#result").css("color", "red");
}
return false;
}
$("form").bind("submit", validate);
.divSection{
text-align: center; padding: 8%;
}
.pSection{
border: none; color: white; padding: 10px 100px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; display: inline-block; font-size: 24px; margin: 3% 0%; border-radius: 6px; -webkit-transition-duration: 0.4s; transition-duration: 0.4s; font-family: Roboto-Regular,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; background-color: #4184f3; margin: auto;}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="divSection">
<form action="dashboard/user/profile" method="POST">
<input id="emailAddress" placeholder="Enter Email" value="[email protected]">
<input type='submit' value="check">
</form>
</div>
<div class="divSection" >
<p class="pSection" id='result'></p>
</div>
This is javascript code to check if email contains more than one @ characters
var count=0;
email = "shubham20.ye@[email protected]";
alert(email);
for(i =0; i<email.length;i++){
if(email.charAt(i) == "@"){
count++;
}}
if(count>1){
alert("not ok")
} else {
alert("ok")
}
Alternate way is by using the standard pattern of the email
var pattern= /^(([^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+(\.[^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+)*)|(".+"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/;
re.test(email);

try this
function validateEmails(string) {
var regex = /^([\w-\.]+@([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]{2,4})?$/;
var result = string.replace(/\s/g, "").split(/,|;/);
for(var i = 0;i < result.length;i++) {
if(!regex.test(result[i])) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
accept both comma and semicolon as separator

Try this for jquery validation:
jQuery.validator.addMethod("multiemail", function (value, element) {
if (this.optional(element)) {
return true;
}
var emails = value.split(','),
valid = true;
for (var i = 0, limit = emails.length; i < limit; i++) {
value = emails[i];
valid = valid && jQuery.validator.methods.email.call(this, value, element);
}
return valid;
}, "Invalid email format: please use a comma to separate multiple email addresses.");

You should be able to split the entry by commas, and then test the individual email subentries against the regexp.
var valid = /^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/;
var entries = entry.split(",");
if(valid.test(entries[0]))... //or however your testing against the regex
You might also want to trim any whitespace before testing any of the stripped email substrings.

Split the emails on a comma and validate the entries
var x = getEmails();
var emails = x.split(",");
emails.forEach(function (email) {
validate(email.trim());
});
Where getEmails() gets the emails from the page, and validate runs your regex against the emails
