The first edition of _Mastering Regular Expressions_ by Jeffrey E. F. Friedl has a Perl script which generates a 6.5 kB regex which should be able to match e-mail addresses reasonably accurately. That Perl script is available here: http://examples.oreilly.com/regex/readme.html Depending on how Perl-compatible egrep's regex parser is, you might have to modify the e-mail regex. But perhaps you can use it as a starting point. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dan Ramaley Dial Center 118, Drake University Network Programmer/Analyst 2407 Carpenter Ave +1 515 271-4540 Des Moines IA 50311 USA
