Thanks for the replies guys

So in essence, there is no user friendly method as there were before.

As for looking up and search those nightly listings, its true I can find an
individual rule, but then I cant exactly see how to drill in to it and see
its expression or detail - I can only see a load of links showing how
effective it is in tests (its not really what I was looking for).  Am I
missing something?


REGEXP:  I dont mind having a go at reading them (I have written some
myself) but, as you know, even though some are easy and obvious sometimes it
can be like reading music - a blur of blobs, dots and squiggles that take a
lot of deciphering.  Of course, many of them rely on 'functionality' of the
plugins (which I cant say I would fully understand) and the understanding of
a RULE structure (some are easy and obvious, some are very convoluted).

(I recently developed this one from scratch:  Its an RFC2822 email address
validator:
^(?=.{1,64}@)("[^<>@\\]+"|(?!\.|.*\.(\.|@))[^<>
@\\"]+)@(\[(\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}\]|\[IPv6:(?:[A-Fa-f\d]{1,4}:){7}[A-Fa-f\d]{1,4}\]|(?=.{1,255}$)((?!-|\.|\d+($|\.))[a-zA-Z\d-]{0,62}[a-zA-Z\d])(|\.(?!-|\.|\d+($|\.))[a-zA-Z\d-]{0,62}[a-zA-Z\d]){1,126})$

Very proud of it too.  )
