Unexpected behaviour of regex validating email

I am validating an email address using the following regex

var regex=/^([A-Za-z0-9_-.])+@([A-Za-z0-9_-.])+.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/;

Now the problem is that it is showing unexpected behavior

If I enter email address like

pakistan@gmail.com

This is accepted by the above regex as validate format of email address But when I use format

igz.dwd.08@gmail.com

The regex don't validate it as email format

similarly

abcdef@gmail.com

is a not a validate format while

awaisobaidzaid@gmail.com

is a validate email format I especially want the validity of email address of the format

igz.dwd.08@gmail.com

What kind of mistake I am doing in above regex?

For starters, w is equivalent to [a-zA-Z0-9_] , so changing that will make your regex decidedly simpler.

/^[w.-]+@[w.-]+.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$/

I have tried this on all of your posted emails, and it works fine

An email address as defined by the RFC 822 (superseded by RFC 2822) is a very complex regex. In the original RFC it is defined as a recursive descent. This makes it very hard to express it in a regex. See this "article": http://www.ex-parrot.com/pdw/Mail-RFC822-Address.html

In perl-style regex:

Firstly, don't escape characters in a character class ie [.] means a literal dot. Don't code as [.]

Secondly, the dash character must be either the first or last character in a character class, otherwise it's the range operator.

Try this: Edited to include @BenRoux's w suggestion

var regex=/^([w.-])+@([w.-])+.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/

ps I tested it and this regex matches "igz.dwd.08@gmail.com"
