Hi,

I am trying to get a regexp to validate email addresses but can't get
it quite right. The problem is I can't quite find the regexp to deal
with ignoring the case [EMAIL PROTECTED], which is not valid. Here's
my attempt, neither of my regexps work quite how I want:

[code]
import os
import re

s = 'Hi [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] @@not
[EMAIL PROTECTED] partridge in a pear tree'
r = re.compile(r'[EMAIL PROTECTED]@\s]+\.\w+')
#r = re.compile(r'[EMAIL PROTECTED]')

addys = set()
for a in r.findall(s):
    addys.add(a)

for a in sorted(addys):
    print a
[/code]

This gives:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   <-- shouldn't be here :(
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Nearly there but no cigar :)

I can't see the wood for the trees now :) Can anyone suggest a fix
please?

Thanks,
Tony
