Noticing some odd matches

[jdalrymple]

I was testing a few blobs of text with this regex rule but found some odd matches such as:

f="nr@context",c=e("gos")

This should return zero results, but, it returns : f="nr@context",c=e("go as a match.

Have you seen some of the regex suggestions here?

I've been using:

/(?!\S*\.(?:jpg|png|gif|bmp|jpeg|css|js)(?:[\s\n\r]|$))[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]{3,65}\.[A-Za-z_-]{2,4}/gi

personally and its been pretty solid

This regex started out for use with email validation. That's why it's so loose. For the use it's better to have false-positives, than false-negatives. I think we could make the regex stricter when the exact: true option is not passed.

Fair enough

I have published https://github.com/niftylettuce/email-regex-safe as an alternative to this package, with a lot of configurable options. PR's welcome.

Hi
I am on Angular

And using the below regex:

'^[a-z0-9]+([._-]?[a-z0-9]+)+@[a-z0-9]+([._-]?[a-z0-9]+)+\\.[a-z]{2,3}$'

But its not fulfilling my requirement, my requirement is below:
