No, it doesn't. There have meen numerous long discussions in various Perl newsgroups about the topic, and the conclusion is that you shouldn't try to match e-mail addresses with a regular expression of your own, but use the Email::Valid Perl module instead (or a similar module which does it right, if you're using another language). Have a look for the third occurrance of "RFC822PAT" in http://search.cpan.org/src/MAURICE/Email-Valid-0.15/Valid.pm to understand the complexity of the RFC 822 e-mail address syntax. ;-) > (with the TLD's manually added by me, since the rfc isn't that > specific): > [...] > (?:[a-z\-0-9]+\.)+(?:biz|com|edu|gov|i?nfo|org|mil|net|[a-z]{2}) So what about ".aero" and ".museum"? No, I don't think hard-coding a list of valid TLDs is a good idea. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
