Class Method Details

.email ⇒ Object

A general email regular expression. It allows top level domains (TLD) to be from 2 - 24 in length. The decisions behind this regular expression were made by analyzing the list of top-level domains maintained by IANA and by reading this website: www.regular-expressions.info/email.html, which is an excellent resource for regular expressions.

  @email_regex ||= begin
    email_name_regex  = '[A-Z0-9_\.&%\+\-\']+'
    domain_head_regex = '(?:[A-Z0-9\-]+\.)+'
    domain_tld_regex  = '(?:[A-Z]{2,25})'
    /\A#{email_name_regex}@#{domain_head_regex}#{domain_tld_regex}\z/i
  end
end

.email_nonascii ⇒ Object

A draft regular expression for internationalized email addresses. Given that the standard may be in flux, this simply emulates @email_regex but rather than allowing specific characters for each part, it instead disallows the complement set of characters:

  • email_name_regex disallows: @[]^ !“#$()*,/:;<=>?‘{|}~\ and control characters

  • domain_head_regex disallows: _%+ and all characters in email_name_regex

  • domain_tld_regex disallows: 0123456789- and all characters in domain_head_regex
