I am using a regular expression to validate an email address with example@gmail.com or example@google.net.
This is my regex:
/^([A-za-z0-9_\.-]+\@[\gmail\.-]+\.[com\.]{2,6})$/
However, it is wrong, somebody help me, thanks very much.

You might consider splitting the string at the @ symbol, and having a whitelist of what is acceptable. – Takarii Sep 16 '16 at 07:32

This regex will match both xxx@gmail.com and xxx@google.net
^[A-Za-z0-9_.\-]+@(?:gmail\.com|google\.net)$
You'll notice that the 2 domains are put in a non-capturing group, separated by a pipe (OR)
Do note also that something like [com] in a regex is not to match the word "com", but to match the characters "c","o","m".

1[`[A-z]` matches more than just letters](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29771901/why-is-this-regex-allowing-a-caret/29771926#29771926). – Wiktor Stribiżew Sep 16 '16 at 07:52
