I ran through a bunch of unit tests to validate that the RE compiled pattern operated the same as when compiled with either ORO's Perl5Compiler or Java's Pattern. I found that in one instance it did not:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@host.com I'd expect this pattern to fail the match and it does for ORO and Java. But it passes when run through Apache regexp. The pattern as amended is: ^([0-9a-zA-Z]([-.\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z])*@([0-9a-zA-Z][\w-]*[0-9a-zA-Z]\.)+[a-zA-Z] {2,9})$ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
