I've been trying to write a regex pattern to only match top level domain using bash i.e
person@email.com or person1@email.uk would be valid but person@email.co.uk would be invalid.

What I have tried:

grep -E -o '[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{2,}' myfile.html

This however still produces the undesired result.

why would "person@email.co.uk" be invalid? Perfectly valid email address, whereas "person1@email.uk" is not. Perhaps that's your problem :laugh:

It is not that it is invalid in the real world. I just don't want it picked up.

Fair enough. Was it you that downvoted OriginalGriff's Solution?

Show sample input and output.
and explain in what it is undesired.

It's a bad idea.
But ...

^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)@[^\.]+\.[^\.]+$

Will do it.
You'll be eliminating a heck of a lot of valid emails though! (And letting bad ones though as well ...)

If you are going to use Regular Expressions, then get a copy of Expresso[^] - it's free, and it examines and generates Regular expressions.
