E-mail Validation using Regex

Hello,

I am fairly new to Wix and have no coding experience. I need to apply certain validations to my e-mail field in a form.

I am successfully able to validate other fields using Regex but when I apply on e-mail field the below Regex it doesn’t seem to be working and instead it rejects all values in e-mail field as invalid.

^(?=[A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9@.%±]{5,253}$)[A-Z0-9.%±]{1,64}@ (?:(?=[A-Z0-9-]{1,63}\.)[A-Z0-9]+(?:-[A-Z0-9]+)*\.){1,8}[A-Z]{2,63}$

Any idea on how I might be able to get the result of above Regex?

Thanks,

Anand

This function is from StackOverflow …

function validateEmail(email) { var re = /^(([^<>()\.,;:\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 re.test(email.toLowerCase()); }

Is that the one you are using?

Nope, The regex I got is from How to Find or Validate an Email Address

Any WIX admin who can shed some light on this please?

I am having the same problem. Used the same regex as above but not working.

Oops. I got it now. There is actually a pull-down to choose the field type. Working now.

OP, it looks like your regex is only looking for capital letters.

Hello,

i know this is an old topic but can someone please provide a REGEX for the below criteria? the non-code one please. i would like to inset it in the settings of the input.

  • At least 8 characters

  • At least 1 capital letter

  • At least 1 lowercase letter

  • At least 1 number

  • At least 1 special character

also if possible i would like the users to be able to use all special characters
=±_)(*&^%$#@!~`/|}{][":';?><., besides being alphanumeric

I believe this should be the regex you need for all of the criteria.

^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*\d)(?=.*[^A-Za-z0-9])[A-Za-z\d=±_)(*&^%$#@!~`/|}{\]\[":';?><.,]{8,}$

As for the original post, there was a space after @ which causes an error since emails don’t have spaces. Additionally, it was written to only be uppercase, whereas most emails are either lowercase. This should work well for most real-world emails:
^[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,}$
