Regex Email validation
C#RegexValidationC# Problem Overview
I use this
@"^([\w\.\-]+)@([\w\-]+)((\.(\w){2,3})+)$"
regexp to validate the email
([\w\.\-]+) - this is for the first-level domain (many letters and numbers, also point and hyphen)
([\w\-]+) - this is for second-level domain
((\.(\w){2,3})+) - and this is for other level domains(from 3 to infinity) which includes a point and 2 or 3 literals
what's wrong with this regex?
EDIT:it doesn't match the "[email protected]" email
C# Solutions
Solution 1 - C#
TLD's like .museum aren't matched this way, and there are a few other long TLD's. Also, you can validate email addresses using the MailAddress class as Microsoft explains here in a note:
> Instead of using a regular expression to validate an email address, > you can use the System.Net.Mail.MailAddress class. To determine > whether an email address is valid, pass the email address to the > MailAddress.MailAddress(String) class constructor.
public bool IsValid(string emailaddress)
{
try
{
MailAddress m = new MailAddress(emailaddress);
return true;
}
catch (FormatException)
{
return false;
}
}
This saves you a lot af headaches because you don't have to write (or try to understand someone else's) regex.
EDIT: For those who are allergic to try/catch: In .NET 5 you can use MailAddress.TryCreate. See also https://stackoverflow.com/a/68198658, including an example how to fix .., spaces, missing .TLD, etc.
Solution 2 - C#
I think @"^([\w\.\-]+)@([\w\-]+)((\.(\w){2,3})+)$" should work.
You need to write it like
string email = txtemail.Text;
Regex regex = new Regex(@"^([\w\.\-]+)@([\w\-]+)((\.(\w){2,3})+)$");
Match match = regex.Match(email);
if (match.Success)
Response.Write(email + " is correct");
else
Response.Write(email + " is incorrect");
Be warned that this will fail if:
-
There is a subdomain after the
@symbol. -
You use a TLD with a length greater than 3, such as
.info
Solution 3 - C#
I have an expression for checking email addresses that I use.
Since none of the above were as short or as accurate as mine, I thought I would post it here.
@"^[\w!#$%&'*+\-/=?\^_`{|}~]+(\.[\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 and 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.
Solution 4 - C#
I found nice document on MSDN for it.
How to: Verify that Strings Are in Valid Email Format http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/01escwtf.aspx (check out that this code also supports the use of non-ASCII characters for Internet domain names.)
There are 2 implementation, for .Net 2.0/3.0 and for .Net 3.5 and higher.
the 2.0/3.0 version is:
bool IsValidEmail(string strIn)
{
// Return true if strIn is in valid e-mail format.
return Regex.IsMatch(strIn, @"^([\w-\.]+)@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.)|(([\w-]+\.)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$");
}
My tests over this method give:
Invalid: @majjf.com
Invalid: A@b@[email protected]
Invalid: Abc.example.com
Valid: [email protected]

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);

// Fallback on error
}
// Legacy fallback (without explicit match timeout)

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

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; }
Solution 10 - C#
Try this on for size:
public static bool IsValidEmailAddress(this string s)
{
var 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])?");
return regex.IsMatch(s);
}
Solution 11 - C#
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");

This one prevents invalid emails mentioned by others in the comments:
Abc.@example.com
Abc..123@example.com
name@hotmail
toms.email.@gmail.com
test@-online.com
It also prevents emails with double dots:
hello..world@example..com
Try testing it with as many invalid email addresses as you can find.
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
public static bool IsValidEmail(string email)
{
return Regex.IsMatch(email, @"\A[a-z0-9]+([-._][a-z0-9]+)*@([a-z0-9]+(-[a-z0-9]+)*\.)+[a-z]{2,4}\z")
&& Regex.IsMatch(email, @"^(?=.{1,64}@.{4,64}$)(?=.{6,100}$).*");

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;
}

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)

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");

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);

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 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.");
}
Solution 34 - C#
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
