I don't know why my regex is incorrect:
var domain = "google\.com\.br"; var reEmail = new RegExp("^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@" + domain + "$");
I need this to validate an email. Example below: reEmail.test("[email protected]");
I get this error:
Range out of order in character class
Because you create the RegExp using a String the _\-\.
becomes _-.
and that is the invalid range. (It is a range from _
to .
and that is not correct)
You need to double escape it:
new RegExp("^([A-Za-z0-9_\\-\\.])+@" + domain + "$");
That way the \\
becomes a \
in the String and then is used to escape the -
in the RegExp.
EDIT:
If you create RegExp by String it is always helpful to log the result so that you see if you did everything right:
e.g. your part of the RegExp
console.log("^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@");
results in:
^([A-Za-z0-9_-.])+@
