I'd like to use a email validation pattern that I came across on a Perl users board. It works just fine with Java's regex.Pattern class but fails to compile when using Apache Regexp. The RECompiler class returns a Bad character exception.
The pattern I'm trying to use is: ^([0-9a-zA-Z]([-.\\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z])*@([0-9a-zA-Z][-\\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z]\\.)+[a-zA-Z] {2,9})$ If I strip out all the groups then RE will accept the pattern. I know that RE supports groups, but maybe not nested groups? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
