There is not point really

All you can do is check that it has an @ symbol and a .something

In the end, I could meet the criteria for the check, but then just enter in
a bodgy address anyway

Subject: [cfaussie] RegEx for email checking


Just wondering!

Has anyone out there managed to create a watertight regEx for checking and
validating email addresses?

I found a few out there, but once you put them under the microscope you
find that they all seem to be missing something here and there.

And also, has anyone got any idea where I can find the specifications for
an email address, i.e. a document that explains what the max. & min. chars
are, what it can and can't contain etc.? I had a look at www.w3c.org but
no luck....

If not, is there anyone interested in creating one as a team effort?
I have some regEx examples that I have broken down and noted the questions
and missing code, but my regEx is a bit rusty lately and besides I want to
make sure it's a 1000% watertight check. not letting anyone get away with
mistakes but also not denying anyone with a valid address...

TIA
