Taco 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 Regards Steve Onnis Domain Concept Designs +61 422 337 685 +61 3 9431 4249 http://www.domainconceptdesigns.com <http://www.domainconceptdesigns.com/> [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.cfcentral.com.au <http://www.cfcentral.com.au/> [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ("If you think it can't be done, you haven't asked me!") - Steve Onnis -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Taco Fleur Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 9:15 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List 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...
