test@domainname.com,
test_123@domainname.com,
test.124@domainname.com,
test12.34_56test@domainname.com
test12.34_56test@domainname.co.in or uk or nz
test@196.27.2.1,

It will fail for rest all like it should not start with numbers,not special symbols except _(underscore). And also the domainname can't be in domain_name or domain-name or domain!@#$name. Rest all need to accepted.

I had tried by this (\w+[-+.]?)+@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)* expression. But here I can access numbers, special characters in initial value.

http://regexlib.com/Default.aspx has a searchable library of regexs, with descriptions of how they operate (including limitations etc) as well as ratings. Searching for e-Mail produces 8 pages of results at 20 results per page. About 20 of these have a 5-star rating. You can just peform a basic check on the client side and a full code-based check on the server if you get desperate...

Try on google[^] first Mannava, it will give you huge search results in quick time. And most of the threads will solve your problem quite easily. Take a look.

I had done the same but in most of all threads, when I test the email I am able to enter integers in initial, special symbols too. I want to restrict those we are not suppose to enter such things.
