Write a pattern that matches e-mail addresses.

The personal information part contains the following ASCII characters.

  • Uppercase (A-Z) and lowercase (a-z) English letters.
  • Digits (0-9).
  • Characters ! # $ % & ' * + - / = ? ^ _ ` { | } ~
  • Character .( period, dot or fullstop) provided that it is not the first or last character and it will not come one after the other.

    {
    var mailformat = /^\w+([\.-]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,3})+$/;  
    if(mailformat.test(str))
    {  
    console.log("Valid email address!");  
    }  
    else  
    {  
    console.log("You have entered an invalid email address!");  
    }
    }
    
    valid_email('[email protected]');
