Hi Dan,
I have an example of how to use regex to validate an e-mail address on the
component zone at www.witango.com
If you run it up, you will see it works ok for any valid e-mail
address....The main test being:
<@if "<@numrows array='<@REGEX EXPR="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" STR="<@arg emailaddress>"
TYPE=E>'>>0">
<@arg emailaddress> is a valid email address
<@else>
<@arg emailaddress> is not a valid email address
</@if>
If I can assist you further please contact me.
