This is the regex pattern I'm using which works fine but only returns one match in the resulting array.

([a-zA-Z0-9+._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)

snippet:

var re = '([a-zA-Z0-9+._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)';
var s = {a:12, b: 'asdasd@asd.com', c:'as123@asd.com'};
var x = JSON.stringify(s);
var z = x.match(re);
console.log(z);
> Array ["asdasd@asd.com", "asdasd@asd.com"]

Expected: Array ["asdasd@asd.com", "as123@asd.com"] I would like an array with just the matched email addresses. I tried a global match by adding a trailing /g but the result I get is null.

/([a-zA-Z0-9+._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/g

Your regex also seems to be missing the starting delimiter. `/pattern/g` – ctwheels Nov 29 '19 at 15:31
I added a snippet; I tried with the pattern/g but I get null. Maybe I'm not using it correctly? – L P Nov 29 '19 at 15:38
No, you're missing both sides. – ctwheels Nov 29 '19 at 15:39
Please see the last line of my description to see what I had tried. – L P Nov 29 '19 at 15:39
I figured out the problem; it was the redundant quotes around the regex. – L P Nov 29 '19 at 16:03
