1. Overview

1. Regular expression test address: http://tool.chinaz.com/regex/

2. Specific commonly used regular expressions

1. Email regular expression:
　1) w[-w.+]*@([A-Za-z0-9][-A-Za-z0-9]+.)+[A -Za-z]{2,14}
　2)w+([-+.]w+)*@w+([-.]w+)*.w+([-.]w+)*
　3) Analysis:

　　-- "" is called "escape character". Used to escapesome special symbols, such as ".", "/"

　　-- "w" is equivalent to [a-zA-Z0-9_]. Also matches Chinese characters

　　　-- "+"   1 or multiple times can also be written as {1,}

　　　- Parentheses are used to specify subexpression (also called grouping), and then you can specify the number of repetitions of this subexpression, ([-+.]w+ )*

　　　--[-+.] The part expanded by square brackets is the character field

　　　-                        Matches any character except line breaks

　　4) Code example
