I am trying to capture the email addresses out of each line of text out of a txt file on regex101.com.
Capturing everything after the "@" symbol was easy enough, but I ran into trouble because some of the emails contain "." which is a special character in regex. I managed to capture the right stuff, but the expression looks very clunky and I was wondering what a more efficient way of writing would be.
Expression:
(\w*\d*\.?\w*\d*\.?\d*\w*@\w*\.(?:com|miami))$

\w[\w.] \w@\w[\w.]*\.(com|miami)$ should match everything as well, as \w matches both digits and letters.
Anyway, if email contained characters different from letters, digits and underscore _ though, neither mine nor your regex will match.

You may use this regex instead:
\w[\w-]*(?:\.\w[\w-]*)*@\w \.(?:com|miami)
