What regular expression would you use to find an email address

Question

Using Python Kodos to find regular expression for an email address, credit card numbers and URL

Answer 1

A common pattern to find emails using Python might be something like:

import re

....

resultsArray = re.findall(r'[\w\.-]+@[\w\.-]+\.\w+', theSourceText)

This looks for strings that match the pattern:

[any letter, number, -, or .] @ [any letter, number, -, or .] ending with a . followed by at least one letter
