Allow (+) sign in email validation

Question

1.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I am using the regular expression to validate emails.

/^([\w-]+(?:.[\w-]+))@((?:[\w-]+.)\w[\w-]{0,66}).([a-z]{2,6}(?:.[a-z]{2})(\".+\")?)$/i

So i want to allow the + sign only other special characters are not allowed.

What change I need to make in this pattern?

Thanks Anubhav

I suspect that the current OP's problem is just not properly escaping '+'. Please see my answer.

I don't know what do you want to achieve and why, but '+' is a part of Regular Expression syntax, so the only possible problem I can see is knowing that you can escape any character, in this case, '\+'. I did not see this combination of two characters in your Regex sample, that makes me think that this is your problem.
