regex extract email from strings

Question

I want to know if by using regular expressions I am able to extract emails from the following strings?

The following RE pattern is .*@.*match with all strings. It has worked fine with some of the string, though with not all.

I want to match all strings match with email pattern include all domain like (some-url.com) or (some-url.co.id)

You can create a function with regex /([a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/ to extract email ids from long text

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

[email protected] Senior Quantity Surveyor [email protected], terimakasih bu Cindy Hartanto [email protected] saya mau dong bu cindy [email protected]  Hi Cindy ...pls share the Salary guide to [email protected] thank a`;   function extractEmails ( text ){     return text.match(/([a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/gi);     }           $("#emails").text(extractEmails(text));

While the regex in the above code snippet matches most email patterns, but if you still need to match >99% of the email patterns, including the edge cases (like '+' in the email) then use the regex pattern as shown below
