Grails on Groovy over Java > Email Address Validation Using Regex

Below is a sample code snippet to validate email address using REGEX

package com.pkm; import java.util.regex.Pattern; public class EmailValidationRegex { private static final String EMAIL_PATTERN = "^[_A-Za-z0-9-\\+]+([\\.\\+]?[_A-Za-z0-9-]+)*@[A-Za-z0-9-]+(\\.[A-Za-z0-9]+)*(\\.[A-Za-z]{2,})$"; private static Pattern _pattern = null; public static void main(String[] args) { check("pritomkucse+regex.test@gmail.com"); check("pkm@c.commmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"); check("pkm@c.commmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm."); check("pkm.+invalid@no.valid"); } static void check(String email) { System.out.println(email + " > " + valid(email).toString().toUpperCase()); } static Boolean valid(String email) { return getPattern().matcher(email).matches(); } static Pattern getPattern() { if (_pattern != null) return _pattern; _pattern = Pattern.compile(EMAIL_PATTERN); return _pattern; } }
