Email validation without spaces was created by jorgesinval
Hello!

I am using this email validation expression: /^(\w[-._+\w]*\w@\w[-._\w]*\w\.\w{2,3})$/

Although, I had one of the participants inserting an email with spaces in the middle, which wasn't blocked by the validation expression. How can I update the above expression to avoid spaces in the middle of the email address?

Thank you.

In other words: there is no 100% valid regex for this.

I have no recommendation, I never use this. If you need it, I would try.

w{2,3} : totally false (you have .social, .info etc …)

Else : to have a browser only way : gitlab.com/SondagesPro/QuestionTheme/EmailInput
(you can do same with js workaround).

Sorry, I did not get it. Which would you use? This one?

/^(\w[-._+\w]*\w@\w[-._\w]*\w\.\w{2,3,4})$/

Why not
regexMatch('/^(([^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+(\.[^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+)*)|(".+"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/',this.NAOK)

in www.limesurvey.org/manual/Question_type_...8em_validation_sq.29

But start by remove the last part on {2,3,4} …
