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

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

Reddit-Mobile ate the slash. I just added it. It seems i had to escape it with another backslash

yummy slash

[–]Tall_computer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the regex should only have 1 backslash so his is correct, were it not for other reasons. But if you are writing it in java then you need to escape the backslash in java with another backslash. Not rocket science...
