REGEXP: I dont mind having a go at reading them (I have written some

lot of deciphering. Of course, many of them rely on 'functionality'
of the
plugins (which I cant say I would fully understand) and the
understanding of
a RULE structure (some are easy and obvious, some are very
convoluted).
(I recently developed this one from scratch: Its an RFC2822 email
address
validator:
^(?=.{1,64}@)("[^<>@\\]+"|(?!\.|.*\.(\.|@))[^<>
@\\"]+)@(\[(\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}\]|\[IPv6:(?:[A-Fa-f\d]{1,4}:){7}[A-Fa-f\d]{1,4}\]|(?=.{1,255}$)((?!-|\.|\d+($|\.))[a-zA-Z\d-]{0,62}[a-zA-Z\d])(|\.(?!-|\.|\d+($|\.))[a-zA-Z\d-]{0,62}[a-zA-Z\d]){1,126})$
Very proud of it too. )
So, you thought validating email addresses was a problem demanding a
solution? And you "solved" it with a regular expression?
Congratulations on now having 2 problems. They should be very happy
together.
