I'm personally no good at all at regexes, but a colleague sent me a link to this story:
http://worsethanfailure.com/Articles/Validating_Email_Addresses.aspx
which does have what the author claims to be a pretty complete email validation
regex at the bottom
good luck,

I am currently using this regexp noted below to validate client-side
before the user submits so that
at least their email is well-formed:
var emailRegxp = /^([\w]+)(.[\w]+)*@([\w]+)(.[\w]{2,3}){1,2}$/;
if( emailRegxp.test(strng) != true ){
return false;
}else{
return true;
}
But, this regexp is not accepting emails of the form [EMAIL PROTECTED]
<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
It is rejecting the hyphen in the domain name.
Does anyone have a real-life tested simple regexp that would plug into the
snippet above and be more complete?
Thanks to all.
