I am trying to create a RegEx expression so it matches an email. I created that one:

.+@{1}[a-z]{3,}.{1}(\bcom\b|\bes\b)

Conditions:

The issue here is that when I try to input for example, "example@@gmail.com" it matches. It just have to match "example@gmail.com" with just one @

Try changing `.+@` to `[^@]+@` since the `@` symbol is matched by `.` – dvo Feb 18 '20 at 16:36
Use a negated character class `[^\s@]+@[^\s@]{3,}\.(?:com|es)\b` https://regex101.com/r/RQmwOs/1 or use `[a-z]{3,}` instead of `[^\s@]{3,}` – The fourth bird Feb 18 '20 at 16:36
@Thefourthbird That should be an answer; it's what I was going to post – Richiban Feb 18 '20 at 16:37
