Welcome to this regex tutorial! Today, we're diving into the world of regular expressions. Specifically, we'll be breaking down a regular expression that's widely used for validating email addresses. By understanding each part of this regular expression (or regex), you'll gain a useful tool for text manipulation and validation.
Our focus will be a regex that is designed to confirm whether or not an email follows the typical structure: username@domain.extension. Here is the regex we'll be working with:
/^([a-z0-9_\.-]+)@([\da-z\.-]+)\.([a-z\.]{2,6})$/
