Wow. Thanks everyone. One of those cases where I did not even know that
feature existed! This will come in VERY usefull! Thanks!
For what it is worth - I do have an email RegEX that works for about 99.9%
of emails on a retail website:
([-!#\$%&'*+./0-9=?A-Z^_`a-z{|}~])+@([-!#\$%&'*+/0-9=?A-Z^_`a-z{|}~]+\\.)+
[a-zA-Z]{2,6}\$
It is very reliable and I have had no false positives that I am aware of...
Just did not know how to apply it to the task at hand - now I know! :)
