Regex output
/^[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,}$/i
Match result: Matched
Tip: start with a preset and then edit gradually. Small regex changes can create big behavior differences.
Three simple steps to create useful regex patterns quickly.
Start with email, URL, phone, or username patterns, or switch to custom regex input.
Edit regex syntax and modifiers like `i` or `g` to match your exact validation rules.
Run test text against your pattern and copy the final regex for production usage.
