Looking for a regex to match a gmail plus address

Question

Im using this currently :

/^(.*)\\+(.*)@gmail.com/

(I\'m capturing the text before and after the plus sign in a group)

and it works in most

Answer 1

I think this can be simplified a touch:

IF you know the address you're looking for and want to match your address regardless of whether it has a 'plus' tag on it:

bignev(\+.*)*@gmail.com

If you only want the ones with the 'plus' tag:

bignev(\+.*)@gmail.com

If you have your own domain:

bignev(\+.*)*@everton.com

Or to answer the original post specifically:

.*(\+.*)@gmail.com
