Use tmail to validate your email :) It will raise an exception on basically anything except a correct address. And I would recommend not using an '@' symbol to symbolize anything in an email address. It is the key component that separates the local from the domain part of the email address and you will always run into problems. You can see how here: http://www.lindsaar.net/2008/4/14/tip-4-detecting-a-valid-email-address >> require 'tmail' => true >> TMail::Address.parse('[EMAIL PROTECTED]@@') TMail::SyntaxError: parse error on token "@" from parser.y:379:in `on_error' from (irb):2:in `_racc_yyparse_c' from parser.y:375:in `scan' from parser.y:375:in `parse_in' from racc/parser.rb:152:in `_racc_yyparse_c' from racc/parser.rb:152:in `__send__' from racc/parser.rb:152:in `yyparse' from parser.y:366:in `parse' from parser.y:344:in `parse' from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/tmail-1.2.3.1/lib/tmail/address.rb:84:in `parse' from (irb):2 >> TMail::Address.parse('[EMAIL PROTECTED]@') TMail::SyntaxError: parse error on token "@" from parser.y:379:in `on_error' from (irb):3:in `_racc_yyparse_c' from parser.y:375:in `scan' from parser.y:375:in `parse_in' from racc/parser.rb:152:in `_racc_yyparse_c' from racc/parser.rb:152:in `__send__' from racc/parser.rb:152:in `yyparse' from parser.y:366:in `parse' from parser.y:344:in `parse' from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/tmail-1.2.3.1/lib/tmail/address.rb:84:in `parse' from (irb):3 >> TMail::Address.parse('[EMAIL PROTECTED]') => #<TMail::Address [EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://lindsaar.net/ Rails, RSpec and Life blog.... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
