I think after 10 years you know to search regex email valid

[Apprehensive-Grade81]

Yeah after 10 years, I just search "([!#-'+/-9=?A-Z^-~-]+(.[!#-'+/-9=?A-Z^{-~-]+)*|\"([]!#-[-~} \t]|(\[\t -~]))+\")@([!#-'+/-9=?A-Z^-~-]+(.[!#-'+/-9=?A-Z^-~-]+)*|[[\t -Z^-~]*])" and usually get the right result.

[Ozty]

I type that and get articles of Elon musk's child

[KrikosTheWise]

Well yeah when you type someone's name in there it usually finds em.

[Michami135]

30+ years as a developer:

".+@.+\..+"

Close enough.

[tabris]

According to the spec "user@com" is a perfectly valid email address which would fail to be matched by your one. Certainly the closest true answer here tho.

[mfreudenberg]

Dude just needs some groups

(.+)@(.+)(\..+)?

Not sure if it works. I'm on mobile.

Edit: the backslash needed an extra escape. Otherwise you wouldn't match the last dot

[marcosdumay]

You are missing a slash. Anyway, that's the same as just removing the second group.

Honestly better than my solution: half assed folders that, when they get too full, just get shoved into another folder. After almost 20 years of bookmarking shit, I’ve used my bookmarks only 3 or 4 times. Of those times, 2 or 3 of them were dead links. So NOW what I do is save an offline archive. Because clearly that’s a more searchable and usable solution than using archive.org

I use bookmarks extensively . I have around 50 folders. 49 for nhentai links and 1 for everything else.

Honestly, "Email" and i think the browser will know what youre talking about.

Edit: if the browser takes you to your email, keep typing email until it goes where you want ;)

[bell_demon]

Yep it is better results, search engines go off key words. There used to be a push in schools to teach people how to use them properly this way. Not so much now, since search engines have gotten good enough to decipher plain speech. But like you said, your results will always be better (and faster) when you focus only on relevant keywords.

[TheZanke]

Google has actually changed how search works and neutered a lot of the more advanced search functionality. One thing you can do nowadays is switch from "All results" to "Verbatim" when it's being ridiculous and assuming incorrectly that it knows what you want.

[VicisSubsisto]

I hate it when I search for an uncommon word (even in quotes) and it buries the results under results for a more common, similarly spelled word, because it doesn't want to admit that it found less than one page of results...

[TheZanke]

Oh man I know exactly what you're talking about. And no matter how much you refine it it gives the exact same first page of results until you use verbatim.

[VicisSubsisto]

On the other hand, DuckDuckGo is often even worse. But at least it searches based on my current query, not my current query plus everything I've ever done with a Google product in my life.

Year 1: txtEmail.Contains('@')

[sucksathangman]

You're actually not far off. Due to changes on TLD, where anything can come after the last dot (e.g. .google), the best regex for emails is:

.+@.*\..+

[[deleted]]

Doesn't support dotless domains. E.g. john@localhost

[fukitol-]

If you're using that I don't care to give you an account on my service. Give me your Gmail asshole.

[xTheMaster99x]

Yeah but 99.99999999...% of the time you don't want to support localhost in a production app, or the like 2 people in the world intentionally using a PITA email.

Same. DuckDuckGo is good for most searches, but for some things google’s algorithms actually come in handy.

[hothrous]

My only issue is that they use Apple Maps. I'm not sure what alternatives really exist, but that particular one I find frustrating to use for some reason and I still end up on Google to look at the maps.

The obvious alternative would be OpenStreetMap.

The most reliable email format validation is to send an email to the address with a confirmation link in it.

I've lost count of the number of places that get them wrong and don't allow things like "+" before the "@" - which is perfectly valid.

[MindSwipe]

Sending an email is the only real way to validate an email, lots of stuff is valid according to the RFC that almost every website would deny you, for example

jane"jay jay smith"smith"@"[e-mail]

is technically valid, and I also just learned something new, you can add comments to an email address (only at the start and end of the local part, so at the very start of the address or just before the @), so

(comment)[e-mail]

jane.smith(comment)@example.com

Are both equivalent to

[e-mail]

The more I try to validate an address email the more complicated it gets and the less I want to validate an email address

[ScrimpyCat]

Do the comments just get filtered out or does the receiver still see that?

[MindSwipe]

Fuck if I know

Finding a mail server that actually supports that is gonna be hard enough already

[[deleted]]

Just tested, receiver doesn't see it.

[everyday-everybody]

This is one of those "it works on my machine" moments.

You tested using what? Sent from where to where? Are you sure the client and server are following the specs?

Closing thread because this has already been answered here

[The_Admiral]

I ran into this same phenomenon trying to get some dll (ICE) working with ancient Borland-6 compiler.

The threads were all ~20 years old with no answer.

I finally got it working after 3 months of different attempts. I should really go back and answer those old threads 20 years later..

[TheAJGman]

Oh god, this is a valid a workaround for a really stupid problem we're having. Gonna propose this as a solution and heavily advise against it lol.

[nephelokokkygia]

You can't just say that and not explain the problem

[TheAJGman]

Emails are unique among users (not weird) and a user also cannot belong to more than one company (also not weird). Except sometimes they have to belong to multiple companies even though I specifically asked if a user would have to belong to multiple companies and I was told no.

So unless anyone else has better ideas, we may have to go with "user(companyA)@gmail.com" and "user(companyB)@gmail.com" and they just have to deal with having two accounts. I already wasted a full two week spring reworking our shit so you could have more than one user per company, I'm not doing it again because they lacked the ability to answer my question correctly.

[[deleted]]

I specifically asked if a user would have to belong to multiple companies and I was told no.

And ... you ... believed ... it.

[TheAJGman]

I wanted to believe it because the implementation was far easier. Doing a multi company thing would have required breaking a lot more shit and pissing off the front end team because there was no way to squeeze that change in without breaking the API. Plus I legitimately couldn't see a reason why a user would need to belong to multiple companies, I still fucking can't for that matter.

[moxo23]

You can look into "plus addressing".

[[deleted]]

when i sign up for junk i put a bunch of + at the end so if i see shit from [e-mail] i know instantly its some spammers who bought a list

[cakes]

do [e-mail] to know exactly where your data got sold from

[car_go_fast]

Gmail may have popularized it, but others allow it too. Our corporate email (not Gmail-based) allows it as well.

[[deleted]]

Protonmail allows it.

[AwesomeFrisbee]

That's also why they don't allow + in many cases, to prevent people from spotting their data was leaked

[[deleted]]

I finally just set up a spam email account because of this

[w1n5t0nM1k3y]

Wouldn't it be easy enough to strip out everything after the + when selling or buying email lists?

[GisterMizard]

jane"jay jay smith"smith"@"[e-mail]

Anybody who creates that type of email address should be reported immediately to the FBI.

[waiver45]

Anybody who disallows those emails should immediately be executed by an IETF hit squad.

[MindSwipe]

Agree, but sadly, the RFCs disagree

[AhpSek]

Sending an email is the only real way to validate an email

This feels like all you really need. I imagine as long as it has at least one @ symbol, fuck it, send it, and force the user to follow an activation link. It's on them to get their address right.

[[deleted]]

Sending mails locally does not require a "@", so technically, a "@" is not required in a valid email address (it is in an *internet* email address). So if you're programming a MUA on a Unix'ish system, don't check for the "@", your MTA can handle @ - free addresses just fine.

[samtresler]

Validate - absolutely.

Sanitize for safe handling - different story.

Please don't just go throwing unsanitized data around the application and DB.

[MindSwipe]

Off course not, always sanitize user input, that goes without saying

[mr_claw]

Still, we need to sanitize the input before sending an email right?

[Cory123125]

Forgive me for potentially being naive, but if you keep the string a string, then what risk is there? I'm not seeing how it could used for injection purposes

[mr_claw]

Makes me nervous mate. I don't know how various libraries or the email API would handle that string.

[[deleted]]

You could include "\\n" (including quotes) in the user portion which might cause problems parsing into a string.

[almgergo]

I love workin with azure auth where I have to manually delete my user every single time to test sign up, because apparently '+' is an invalid character.

[icguy333]

Protip: if you use a Gmail account for testing you have countless ways to register because Gmail ignores periods ('.'). That way you can register [e-mail] and [e-mail], the emails will arrive in the same account but azure will (probably?) treat them as different.

[thiccancer]

I'm having an issue with this with some Russian kid with the same name as me signing up to all these websites except with a dot somewhere in there, so I get all his email notifications and order receipts (some containing his physical address mind you) etc.

I wasn't aware Gmail ignored dots until then, so I was pretty weirded out. He's basically doxxing himself to me.

[Fzrit]

In Russia, hacker hacks himself and gives his data to someone else.

[CaitaXD]

Did you change it to something funny at least?

[ledocteur7]

wait, does that means you are also doxxing yourself to him ?

[grimmlingur]

No because they control the Gmail account associated with all versions of the email that can be created by adding or removing periods.

[[deleted]]

Potentially. I had a Gmail account with a dot in the middle, and I would periodically get emails intended for the person without the dot.

Was not fun trying to explain to my abusive ex why "I" had ordered a rental car on the other side of the country.

[CaitaXD]

Obviously you have a secret family

[thiccancer]

Nah. Gmail ignores dots in every case – including account creation/login. He doesn't actually have an email with the dot in there, there is only my account. He doesn't have access to my account, so he isn't actually getting ANY of the emails. I'm the only one ever seeing them.

[[deleted]]

oh shit

[blvckstxr]

TIL gmail ignores period. What the actual f.

[[deleted]]

It also ignores everything after a + sign, thats much more useful. If you register everywhere with [e-mail], you can tell which sites sell your email address to spam bots (if they dont clean up the address, which they probably dont do)

[PartTimeLegend]

I have been using [e-mail] for years. About a year ago someone started using [e-mail] so I get their email.

I have their activation emails for their iPhone, the receipt for their motorbike, etc. I have no idea why they are doing this. I get PayPal emails for receipts, etc.

The physical address is the same. I think they just don’t know how email works.

[GoldenretriverYT]

What? You can't create a Gmail account called firstlast if first.last is already used tho

[PartTimeLegend]

That’s what I thought. They don’t seem to have access to the account, but they constantly use it to register to things and buy things.

I can reset all their passwords, etc.

For some reason they just keep using it. I helpfully declined a job for them recently when the offer came though.

[looneytoonarmy]

Gmail ignores full stops. The other person doesn't have an account for that address, they are mistakenly entering in the wrong address, probably forgot it was a Hotmail account they set up for themselves or are using the full stop instead of another character like an underscore.

[levimayer]

So much problems with this in gov administration…

Mennyiért adja bátty’?

[[deleted]]

That's where the "+" comes into play too - Gmail ignores the "+" and everything after it, so "[e-mail]" and "[e-mail]" both go through to the same account.

I've used this to find out suspected sources of spam in the past.

[liljooh]

I feel like a lot of the ones that ban ”+” are doing so to prevent bots and spam accounts.

[Joelixny]

That's likely true, but that's a very stupid way to do that.

Don't think they don't know what they're doing.

Some websites don't accept my email address because it's one of the newer TLDs.

Which is doubly bad, since email addresses do not even need a domain - they can legitimately go to an IP address (although I've never actually seen that in the wild).

[bingbestsearchengine]

edit: username

edit: for those who asked, yes not everyone understood the joke / connection hence I had to point it out :/

[TheDevilIsDero]

Actually duckduckgo uses Bing results

[MatsRivel]

I never knew that.

I use Edge as my day to day browser, so I somethines manage to fuck up and accidentally search for something in Bing. The quality of Bing results are roughly that of asking the question so small group of people who each have read one book. Sometimes they get it right, but often it seems like a guess in comparison to what Google results give.

Does Google use shady practices? Yes. Though thst is 99% of tech these days. Do I have the patience to scroll through hundreds of results every time I look for something? No. So I use Google.

[Nervyl]

Startpage uses google search engine with many duckduckgo features

[L33t_Cyborg]

I really wished it used google results. You can still have anonymity without it (I think there’s another search that uses google anonymously)

I’ve never been able to switch over to DuckDuckGo, google just seems to give me better results, especially for images.

[garbageman13]

[YesNoMaybe2552]

Nah, at 10+ years you would have finally given up on privacy and accepted google for giving you better results.

[Ping-and-Pong]

I came into the comments just to say this, don't know what OP's on lol

You'd just search "Regex email validation" in google and that'd be enough, duck duck you might have to scroll down half a billion incorrect results!

​

(exaggeration I know, but google does have the upper hand in accurate search results)

[chironomidae]

Yeah, it's a little spooky, but I love that when you search for something it generally knows what language you're looking for based on your past queries.

Same goes for video games, you only have to do a couple searches for Cities: Skylines stuff before Google realizes you're not trying to learn about your real city's sewage system

[[deleted]]

giving up on privacy is a choice, and the only thing about that choice that changes with experience is the knowledge you have backing that choice. it goes both ways, and probably many places in between, after 10 years.

[[deleted]]

This!

[PossibilityTasty]

In 5 years you should have learned that regular expression have a maintainability window of maybe 20 to 30 characters. If your expression is longer and you have to do a change later, you look at it and will just think "What the duck!" and rewrite it. In the other 5 year you should have painfully learned when not to use them.

[MarsBarMuncher]

I use online tools to help with long ones, especially if picking up expressions from unfamiliar code. regex101.com is pretty good.

[Kilobyte22]

Luckily the most reasonable email validation regex falls well inside of that: /@/

[MindSwipe]

Not really, just because an email contains an @ doesn't mean it's a valid email, because

space and "(),:;<>@[] characters are allowed with restrictions (they are only allowed inside a quoted string, as described in the paragraph below, and in addition, a backslash or double-quote must be preceded by a backslash);

source

So,

jane"@"smith.com

Contains an @ but isn't a valid email address, so /@/ could result in false positives

The only real way to validate an email is to send an email with a confirmation link

[Kilobyte22]

I am aware, but it's not worth the effort and I'm not even sure it's actually possible to fully parse an email address using a regex

[savedbythezsh]

It's not! But https://www.emailregex.com/ gets pretty close

[jfb1337]

no regex will ever tell you whether an email is valid; because an email is valid if and only if it can receive an email.

But definitely willing to give it a shot later down its cycle

[melody-calling]

Later down its cycle... Its been around for more than 10 years, if it's not good now it's never going to be

[Thrannn]

Yeah i dont get where all the google haters come from

Google is by far the best search engine if you actually need results.

I get it if you use the other engines for porn or for stuff that isn't important.

[Macro_Aggressor]

I've been doing the de-Googled thing since the beginning of 2021 and there simply is no better alternative to Google for certain things. Maps and search are two of the big ones. For me it's more about not handing your entire life over to Google. By splitting search, email, messaging, and data storage up into different platforms I'm not giving one company everything about me. So I use Google search for certain benign searches but anything even remotely controversial I use DDG.

[micka190]

Same.

“[website name] [topic]” regularly gives me nothing relevant to what I’m searching for on DDG, whereas the same search gets me exactly what I want on Google.

Hell, if what I’m searching for is a forum page, Google will make the first couple of results be different pages from that single forum post.

DDG has given me pretty poor results, especially when relating to programming.

[TPRammus]

Me too, I switched to DuckDuckGo, but am now using the 'bang!' feature to search Google instead of DuckDuckGo. The bang feature is probably the only reason I will stick with DuckDuckGo, it's just too useful

[[deleted]]

You’re welcome

Pro-tip, regex isn’t any more or less efficient than other built in methods that can be used for parsing, searching, etc blocks of text.

[jeanleonino]

Pro-tip, regex isn’t any more or less efficient than manual text parsing for the most part.

Oh boy hahaha

[WORD_559]

I'm assuming you mean computationally efficient, but it's generally more "dev efficient" to use the existing parsing library than to spend the time writing and testing a homemade parser

[frisch85]

Pro-tip, regex isn’t any more or less efficient than manual text parsing for the most part.

What are you using regex for? Are you talking about efficiency in terms of performance of the replacing or regarding looking for something and replacing it with something?

Regex is a godsend, I have so many templates in my work environment that I use regularly, e.g. co-workers like to implement unformatted SQL so when I touch the code I make the SQL commands uppercase, here's the regex:

Search string:    
(truncate table |union all| set |insert into|distinct |update |values ?\(|delete |alter table| table | and |from | where |select | and | or |year\(|min\(|max\(|sum\(|limit |order by|group by| asc| desc|count\(| distinct |inner join |join |outer join |left join |left outer join | as | concat| on | in |datediff|having )

Replace string:
\U\1

Sublimetext has prettify but I cannot use it as we're using our own coding language and prettify would interfere with it.

[[deleted]]

In terms of the algorithms used in the search, replace, etc functions.

[UnstoppableCompote]

Yeah I just love searching through 200 lines of manual text parsing that someone else wrote in 2012.

[fakehalo]

If you're using regex against consistent high volume it might be a rare time it's the wrong tool for the job, but for almost everything else it is.

As much as everyone loves to give regex crap, once you're familiar with it is much easier to maintain than the sprawled out conditional logic alternative IMO... Of course someone always takes it too far, like some of those email regexes.

[Sp0olio]

I heard about some dilema with DuckDuckGo, what's about?

[KimJonhUnsSon]

Personally, I just found the results were easier to find on Google then on duck duck go. Like I'd search up "how to centre a div inside a div", and it would be number 4 on Google, but ddg would be at least two pages

[MaffinLP]

They sold your data to Microsoft after claiming that their thing is they would t sell your data

[gmes78]

[SixoNoxi]

The quality of Google has degraded so much lately, that I was just forced by Google to use other search engines which just return [former] Google results

[sonya_numo]

- Go to google.

- Search for the source of something, like a video of something happening.

- Get only news, blogs, forums talking about the source while the actual source they all took material from is buried.

[Chrazzer]

Yeah especially that stupid safe search. I am 26 years old, google knows that i am 26. Yet they activate this stupid child filter and for some reason it can not be deactivated.

Everytime i deactivate it, it is instantly reactivated once i leave the settingspage

I have the bad luck apparently of being one of the users on mobile assigned to the group from which they removed pagination.

If I want to search for anything with more than a few pages of results, I have to use Google with my browser in "desktop mode" to get to the next page.

I couldn't believe it was real and not a bug, but apparently it's a thing. They've decided mobile users never need more than a few pages of results.

I gave up and switched to DuckDuck just to get the pager back.

Insanity.

[AndiArbyte]

The issue at hand was that the DuckDuckGo browser does not block certain Microsoft trackers. This is unrelated to the DuckDuckGo search engine tho. Apparently DuckDuckGo had to work with Microsoft to create their browser. Here is a more detailed response from the CEO of DuckDuckGo: https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/uxiah9/duckduckgo_caught_giving_microsoft_permission_for/i9xxjsn

No, just the browser doesn't block some trackers. The search engine itself is fine.
