    Using # and $

    • To add # to the email regex pattern:

    • To add $ to the email regex pattern:

      ^([a-zA-Z0-9_.-\])+\@(([a-zA-Z0-9\\-])+.)+([a-zA-Z0-9\]{2,4})+

    Escaping $

    When using the $ character, make sure to use the appropriate escape characters, such as \, e.g., abc\[email protected]
