Extract all email addresses from bulk text using jquery

Question

I'm having the this text below:

[email protected], "assdsdf" <[email protected]>, "rodnsdfald ferdfnson" <[email protected]>, "Affdmdol Gondfgale" <[email protected]>, "truform techno" <[email protected]>, "NiTsdfeSh ThIdfsKaRe" <[email protected]>, "akasdfsh kasdfstla" <[email protected]>, "Bisdsdfamal Prakaasdsh" <[email protected]>,; "milisdfsfnd ansdfasdfnsftwar" <[email protected]>

Here emails are seprated by , or ;. I want to extract all emails present above and store them in array. Is there any easy way using regex to get all emails directly?

um, given your sample "here emails are seprated by `'` or `;`. " appears to be an invalid statement. did you perhaps mean `,` and/or `;`? — Mark Schultheiss, Jan 21 '13 at 14:20
@MarkSchultheiss:see gmail to,cc and bcc list.its perfectly valid to seprate emails over there by comma or semicolon. — Milind Anantwar, Jan 21 '13 at 14:23
Yes, but you say a single quote/apostophe which does not match your sample data. — Mark Schultheiss, Jan 21 '13 at 14:25
I've written a library for extract emails from arbitrary text https://github.com/gajus/extract-email-address — Gajus, May 07 '20 at 00:51

Here's how you can approach this:

HTML

<p id="emails"></p>

JavaScript

var text = '[email protected], "assdsdf" <[email protected]>, "rodnsdfald ferdfnson" <[email protected]>, "Affdmdol Gondfgale" <[email protected]>, "truform techno" <[email protected]>, "NiTsdfeSh ThIdfsKaRe" <[email protected]>, "akasdfsh kasdfstla" <[email protected]>, "Bisdsdfamal Prakaasdsh" <[email protected]>,; "milisdfsfnd ansdfasdfnsftwar" <[email protected]> datum eternus [email protected]';    

function extractEmails (text)
{
    return text.match(/([a-zA-Z0-9._+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+)/gi);
}
     
$("#emails").text(extractEmails(text).join('\n'));

Result

[email protected],[email protected],[email protected],[email protected],[email protected],[email protected],[email protected],[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]

@thanks leniel....i was looking forward to jquery iterator for all emails.and demo 2 works gr8 fr me – Milind Anantwar Jan 21 '13 at 15:02
Shouldn't it read `extractEmails($("#emails").text()).join('\n');` or am I missing something? – notacouch Jan 26 '14 at 17:16
ah okay so I somehow missed the first line `var text = ...`, must've been assuming it was pulling from the paragraph (and to write back into it or something). Thanks! – notacouch Jan 26 '14 at 18:54
please avoid this answer as it'll not parse this valid email `[email protected]` – GorvGoyl Jul 26 '21 at 20:28
@GoryGoyl: just updated the regex to match e-mails with + char. Demo 1 has it working: http://jsfiddle.net/leniel/VS7Qe/915/ Thanks for the comment. – Leniel Maccaferri Jul 26 '21 at 21:13
this way will include (.) in the final of email – huykon225 Mar 23 '22 at 08:37

You can use this regex:

var re = /(([^<>()[\]\\.,;:\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,}))/g;

You can extract the e-mails like this:

('[email protected], "assdsdf" <[email protected]>, "rodnsdfald ferdfnson" <[email protected]>, "Affdmdol Gondfgale" <[email protected]>, "truform techno" <[email protected]>, "NiTsdfeSh ThIdfsKaRe" <[email protected]>, "akasdfsh kasdfstla" <[email protected]>, "Bisdsdfamal Prakaasdsh" <[email protected]>,; "milisdfsfnd ansdfasdfnsftwar" <[email protected]>').match(re);

//["[email protected]", "[email protected]", "[email protected]", "[email protected]", "[email protected]", "[email protected]", "[email protected]", "[email protected]", "[email protected]"]

Just an update to the accepted answer. This does not work for "plus" signs in the email address. GMAIL supports [email protected].

I've updated to:

return text.match(/([a-zA-Z0-9._+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+)/gi);

The bellow function is RFC2822 compliant according to Regexr.com

ES5 :

var extract = function(value) {
   var reg = /[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?/g;
   return value && value.match(reg);
}

ES6 :

const reg = /[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?/g
const extract = value => value && value.match(reg)

You don't need jQuery for that; JavaScript itself supports regexes built-in.

Have a look at Regular Expression for more info on using regex with JavaScript.

Other than that, I think you'll find the exact answer to your question somewhere else on Stack Overflow - How to find out emails and names out of a string in javascript

function GetEmailsFromString(input) {
  var ret = [];
  var email = /\"([^\"]+)\"\s+\<([^\>]+)\>/g

  var match;
  while (match = email.exec(input))
    ret.push({'name':match[1], 'email':match[2]})

  return ret;
}

var str = '"Name one" <[email protected]>, ..., "And so on" <[email protected]>'
var emails = GetEmailsFromString(str)

A bunch of the answer in here are including lower/capital letters [a-zA-Z] AND the insensitive regex flag i, which is nonsense.

i modifier: insensitive. Case insensitive match (ignores case of [a-zA-Z]).
\d matches a digit (equivalent to [0-9])As domain extensions don't end with numeric characters).

As a result, combined with the \d token. we get a much more condenses and elegant sentence.

/[a-z\d._+-]+@[a-z\d._-]+/gi

Demo

let input = '[email protected], "assdsdf" <[email protected]>, "rodnsdfald ferdfnson" <[email protected]>, "Affdmdol Gondfgale" <[email protected]>, "truform techno" <[email protected]>, "NiTsdfeSh ThIdfsKaRe" <[email protected]>, "akasdfsh kasdfstla" <[email protected]>, "Bisdsdfamal Prakaasdsh" <[email protected]>,; "milisdfsfnd ansdfasdfnsftwar" <[email protected]>'

function get_email(string) {
  return string.match(/[a-z\d._+-]+@[a-z\d._-]+/gi)
};

$('#output').html(get_email(input).join('; '));
