Update K. Ray email address verification? (regex)

[Simon]

Hello all,
I have Ken Ray's email verification code that I need adapted to accept "+" in the address.
Here is the original code:

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

I would like it to accept "simon+112@gmail.com" (err.. 112 is randomly generated).

Any regex hero's out there today?

Thanks,
Simon

Hey Simon,

Im no regex hero and have never used any extreme regex before, but the following should allow email address with "+" to be accepted

Code: Select all

return matchText(what,"^[A-z0-9_\-\.\+]+[@][A-z0-9_\-]+([.][A-z0-9_\-]+)+[A-z]$")

This following is a pretty awesome site that should allow you to test any regex expressions on the fly
