Regex - Validate Email Domain and Full email

Question

Here is the regex that I have:

\Ame\..*$

And I want it to match on:

me.com
me.ca
[email protected]
[email protected]

It also must not match on:

[email protected]
me.you@foo

Currently it only matches the domain and not the full email.

I am using ruby for this.

I have been using http://rubular.com/ to try and solve this.

Check out Friedl'd Mastering regular expressions, it contains a regular expression for email addresses (it is several pages long!). — vonbrand

The following works, if I understand your requirements correctly:

\bme\.[^.@]*\z

Explanation:

\b     # Match the start of a word
me     # Match "me"
\.     # Match "."
[^.@]* # Match any string unless it contains a "." or a "@"
\z     # Match the end of the string

(I used \z instead of $ as I did on the Rubular example because that also matches the end of a line).
