How can I validate an email address using a regular expression?

I am writing a regular expression for checking valid email addresses.
"[A-Z0-9a-z._%+-]+#[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.com"
How do I alter this to allow .edu and others?
Use | for Boolean "OR". You need to wrap the options in brackets, e.g. "Ben(jamin|edict)" means "Benjamin" or "Benedict", whereas "Benjamin|edict" means "Benjamin" or "edict".
"[A-Z0-9a-z._%+-]+#[A-Za-z0-9.-]+.(com|org|edu|net|gov|mil)"
Of course, this is failing to allow for country code top-level domains. It may be best to check if an email validation library exists for whatever programming language or framework you are using. E.g. Python has the validate_email module, PHP has FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL.

I want to validate all email inputs on my app with regex. But there is a problem, all the regex I have found allow emails with no TLD. I want a regex that can help me reject emails such as testing#testing,
Examples:
testing#testing.com should be valid
testing#testing.co.us should be valid
testing#testing should not be valid
The current regex I use is :
^([a-zA-Z0-9_-.]+)#(([[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.)|(([a-zA-Z0-9-]+.)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})$
But it accepts testing#testing for example, and that is not what I want.
How would I go about validating emails and rejecting ones without TLD
This is the regex which does what you want:
[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+#[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+\\.[a-z]{2,3}

I am using a regular expression to validate email addresses in an online form. A lot of emails are entered as such: www.test#example.com
How can I disallow the use of www. using regex? My current expression:
^[\+_a-z0-9-'&=]+(\.[\+_a-z0-9-']+)*#[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,})$
I know this expression checks for a gTLD - we require an email address to have one.
EDIT: This question is slightly different to others I have found as I wasn't sure how to add the www exclusion in - that's all I needed.
Also, the target market we reach doesn't have the same experience using technology as most people do, so the amount of email addresses that we receive with www in them is massive. www.john#gmail.com is perfectly valid yes but it is 99% of the time not what the persons email address is. Our CRM system can't send emails to the correct people then.
you can use the regex
^(?!www\.)[\+_a-z0-9-'&=]+(\.[\+_a-z0-9-']+)*#[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,})$

I came up with the following
([\w.%+-]+#[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4})
I would also like to remove emails that start with a number or -. By remove I mean to select only the address and not to remove the entire match.
Is there a way to do that?
^(?:\d+|-+)?([\w.%+-]+#[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4})$
This should do the trick. It'll capture emails but also filter out ones that start with a number or the - character and pulls the email from it.

I want an regex for email that starts with numbers and letters.
My regex is
/^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+#[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$/
What is wrong in this? It allows ._- from start and in between. But I don't want this
Valid emails = s#gmail.com, s.p#y.com, s_p123#g.com
Invalid emails = ....s#g.com, s---g#g.com, s...#g.com, 44s..p#g.com, ----s#g.com
Does anyone know how this can be done?
So you dont want to have more than one ._- in your regex? And also it shall not start with ._- Try it this way:
^[a-zA-Z0-9]+[._-]?[a-zA-Z0-9]*#[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}
It works for your examples, although im not really sure what email-syntax you really want to test for.
Perhaps you want to use one of many pre written examples in the web (just google ;) )

I have a JAVA string that is being used to validate proper email addresses.
^[\\w'-]+(\\.[\\w'-]+)*#[A-Za-z0-9]+([.-][A-Za-z0-9]+)*(\\.[A-Za-z]{2,})$
I want to user to be able to leave the address blank and not get an error message. How is this possible?
Since you didn't provide any other code or specify what language you were using, the best I can suggest is:
(?:^[\\w'-]+(\\.[\\w'-]+)*#[A-Za-z0-9]+([.-][A-Za-z0-9]+)*(\\.[A-Za-z]{2,})$)|(?:^$)
Which will match an e-mail or an empty string.
If you have an expression you want to make optional allowing empty string to match you could use any of the following:
^(?:regex)?\z
^\z|^regex\z
