I'd copied the <cfsavecontent....> string from Rich's original post but I had then indented it 'nicely' so the leading blanks on each line were throwing the regex. Of course the >first< address (and his only valid example) was OK because it immediately followed the <cfsavecontent....> tag and was not preceded by any extraneous blanks. When I copied the only good address to the end and it stopped working.... Oy veh! Thanks, guys, I'll keep on learning.

Here's the regex I used: regex = "^[a-z0-9][-\._a-z0-9]*@([a-z0-9][-a-z0-9]*\.)+[a-z]{2,6}$"; from Tim's post. > -----Original Message----- > From: Tim Blair [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 18 August 2003 17:42 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] mail regex quirks #2 > > > > > Your regex solution says my email > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > is invalid which is not really so. > > I wouldn't say it was "my" regex: I only took what Rich > posted and made > it work... ;) > > Here's the regex I use when I'm checking email address.
