Email Validation

[smith8867]

Is there anyway in LiveCode to validate an email that is entered into a field?

Thanks.

Here, I found this function somewhere a long time ago;

Code: Select all

function isEmail pWhat
   put matchtext(pWhat,"^[A-z0-9_\-\.]+[@][A-z0-9_\-]+([.][A-z0-9_\-]+)+[A-z]$") into tNotIP
   put matchtext(pWhat,"^(1*\d{1,2}|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.(1*\d{1,2}|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.(1*\d{1,2}|2[04]\d|25[0-5])\.(1*\d{1,2}|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])(:\d{1,5})*$") into tIsIP
   return (tIsIP or tNotIP)
end isEmail

Thank you to whoever wrote it
