That regular expression is meant to extract a valid email address. (It may not be a working email address, but it should at least be legal.) One thing I should probably make clearer in the documentation is that due to the way Gambas uses character constants like \n, you need to double up on backslashes when you're specifying a regular expression as a constant. So if the user is entering it or you're reading it from a file, it might be a\s+(b\S+) but if you're hardcoding it into your program it needs to be "a\\s+(b\\S+)". Here is a Gambas script to demonstrate (just tried it in my own console and it runs in 2.9, but watch out for my email client's word wrap.) USE "gb.pcre" DIM myemail AS String DIM validemail AS String DIM re AS RegExp myemail = "f...@bar" re = new RegExp(myemail, "(?i)\\b[a-z0-9\\._%\\...@[a-z0-9._%\\-]+\\.[a-z] {2,4}\\b") validemail = re.Text if not validemail then print myemail & " is not a legal email address.\n" else print myemail & "\n" end if Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
