Re: Regex help

Hello Epetruk,

Hello,

I'm trying to write a regular expression that extracts the host name
from a string.

In other words, the string I extract must have:

- only letters, numbers and fullstops in it;

- the fullstops most be in the middle of it.

So if I have a string like this:

"this is a host.domain.com name that I want"

what kind of regular expression would I write to extract
'host.domain.name'?


\b(?i:[0-9a-z]+(\.[0-9a-z]+)+)\b

should do the trick.
