I've been using a regex found on this list to validate email addresses.
I've now run into a problem with the regex that I can't solve. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
The email address is not required so the field can either be left blank or
must contain a valid email address. The regex validation code follows:
<CFIF (Len(Trim(FORM.Email)) NEQ 0) AND
(REFindNoCase("^[a-zA-Z]([[:alnum:]\-_]+\.?)*@([[:alnum:]\-_]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2
,4}$", FORM.Email) EQ 0)>
Email address is invalid
</CFIF>
The email address is of the form "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (that is, the domain
contains a dash). If I remove the dash from the domain, the address
validates. However, the dash should be valid.
Looking at the regex, doesn't the ([[:alnum:]\-_]+\.) portion after the @
symbol allow for dashes?
TIA
