rules:
starts with alphanumeric
3 chars long
require ONLY one period
require alpha after the period
/^[a-zA-Z0-9][\w-].[a-zA-z]/ #but now working
sub validate {
local $_ = shift;
return( length >= 3 and
tr/.// == 1 and
/^[[:alpha:]]/ and
/[a-zA-Z0-9].[a-zA-Z]/ ); #added here still not working
}
expecting results:
a.com - true
1.com - true
a_.com - true
a-.com - true
abc - false
a.b.c - false
a.1 - false
a.- - false
a._ - false
_a.c - false
-a.c - false
I think this covers it all?
thanks
