Validating email addresses is perhaps best done with a pattern test for a valid email address. But to answer your question.

I want test that "@" occurs once and once only and "." (period) occurs at least once. This is what I have tried: o = NEWOBJECT("VBScript.RegExp") o.Pattern = "[@{1} [.]{1,}]" ctest = "[email protected]" ? oTest(ctest)&& Prints .T. ctest = "someaddress@[email protected]" ? oTest(ctest)&& Prints .T. (which is not what I want) I've never been very comfortable with regular expressions. Any help would be appreciated. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
