If we apply this Regex quickly to Notepad ++, is it okay? I still do not understand how this statement applies. And I tried using it in Notepad ++ with the 6 email addresses above. And I only get 1 unique result "[email protected]" when using it on "Search". Don't laugh or ask why I did this.

Title: Excludes many valid email addresses

The domain side of this is completely broken, excludes all the new top level domains (eg .company, .school etc) doesn't not support - in domains etc etc.

Why did you put that question mark there? ("[a-zA-Z _]+?") +:one or many ?:zero or one

There are too many things wrong with this regex to even consider using it. The fact that this regexp doesn't allow numbers, hyphens, or more than one period in the domain name makes it pretty useless for me. The first part of the address is also too restrictive. I'd rather not lose business rejecting sales from customers because this regexp is sure to fail some of them.

Not a bad regex overall, the only thing I might change, is to allow the "." in the name, and change the range of the domain from {2,3} to {2,4} since there are some email addresses like [email protected] Good job.

Comment:
This expression is useless. Underscores are NOT permitted in email domains. There's no restriction on the length of the top level domain. For example, .info and .museum are now in use.
