minus-square@FeathercrownlinkEnglish1•edit-211 months agoEDIT: I’M DUMB I THOUGHT YOU MEANT A LITERAL “.” , that regex is indeed correct. Original: This is a valid address: user.name@[IPv6:2001:db8:1ff::a0b:dbd0] Relevant spec: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5321#section-4.1.3 And you all doubted me… :P Edit: Wait, I also don’t think local-part even needs a “.” in it? [email protected] should be valid as well.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•edit-211 months agoAnd it’s matched by .+@.+ as it contains an @. Remember, we’re taking about regular expressions here so .+ means “a sequence of one or more arbitrary characters”. It does not imply that an actual dot is present. (And I overlooked the edit. Oops.)
