Email Address Validation Regex

Question

So I want to set up an Email Address Validation Regex with the following constraints...
reference: α @ β . γ

for α
1) Only contain az 0-9 . - _
2) Contain between 1 and 30 chars (inclusive)
3) Can't start or end with . - _
4) Can't have 2 consecutive symbols (out of . - _ ) in it

for β
1) Only contain az 0-9 -
2) Contain between 2 and 14 chars (inclusive)
3) Can't start or end with -
4) Can't have 2 consecutive - in it

for γ
1) Only contain az
2) Contain between 2 and 4 chars (inclusive)

===========================================================================

The first two constraints of each are easy to implement, So I have done it, as follows
([a-z0-9.\-_]{1,30})@([a-z0-9\-]{2,14}).([az]{2,4})

Can anyone help me with (2) and (3) of α and β

Answer 1

You may use

/^(?=[^@]{1,30}@)[a-z0-9]+(?:[._-][a-z0-9]+)*@(?=.{2,14}\.[a-z]+$)[a-z0-9]+(?:-[a-z0-9]+)*\.[a-z]{2,4}$/

See the regex demo

Details

• ^ - start of string
• (?=[^@]{1,30}@) - 1 to 30 chars are allowed before a @
