And is hopelessly naive, and will reject lots of perfectly valid email
addresses. For instance, there are lots of new TLDs these days longer
than 4 characters - .ninja, .museum, .report, .services, .vision, etc
etc etc.
It would also match e.g. --a...@--.abcd' and lots of other completely
invalid addresses.

Almost 10 years ago I posted this: http://www.mail-archive.com/beginners%40perl.org/msg62681.html Probably that function would do for you. You won't easily come up with a valid address that would be rejected. But please note the discussion that followed in that old thread. They thought I ought to use Email::Valid instead. ;-) -- Gunnar Hjalmarsson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/

Sunita,
I've used Email::Valid for this and it works nicely. And the code to
use it is pretty easy, too.
use Email::Valid;
if (!Email::Valid-address( -address = $email_address_to_test, -mxcheck = 1
)) {
... process error here ...
}

Re: script to match a valid email id
Then take a look at the Owl (Regular Expressions) book. The first appendix, if I recall correctly) has an regex that will validate an e-mail address. The regex is something over 2,000 characters long. Nota Bene: xxx@zzz.www IS NOT the only valid format for an email address In this case, you really need to rethink your objection to using the proper CPAN module.

Re: script to match a valid email id
use the regular expression for checking @ and dot and length of some address'
parts:)
for example, try this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use 5.014;
print enter the email address ;
while () {
if(/\A.{4,15}\@.+?\..{2,3}\Z/) { print it's correct\n;
} else { print it is not correct\n;}
}
for my email:
4-15 is length of rozanda2014
2-3 is length of ru (may be com)

the r...@i.frys.com address may not be matched by my regexp, because here two dots after @.

Re: script to match a valid email id

Use the well-trusted, battle-tested CPAN module. Whatever you build will likely be sub-par, and will let through invalid email addresses, or, more likely, reject perfectly valid addresses you hadn't thought about. (Not casting any aspersions on your skill level - email validation is notoriously tricky to get right!) Note: you're testing for valid looking - the only way to know for sure if an email address is actually OK is to send an email to it and have them click a link. With all the new TLDs coming out all the time, you can no longer rely on a pre-set list of TLDs which exist - new TLDs (some pointless, some uttterly stupid) are being released all the time, and older email validation code that thinks it knows of all TLDs which exist will reject perfectly valid email addresses. (You can do some checks, for instance, does the domain part resolve with an MX or A record; if not, it's probably not an email address you want to accept. However, even that could trip you up. For example, mickey mouse@[127.0.0.1] is a valid email address :) -- David Precious (bigpresh) dav...@preshweb.co.uk http://www.preshweb.co.uk/ www.preshweb.co.uk/twitter www.preshweb.co.uk/linkedinwww.preshweb.co.uk/facebook www.preshweb.co.uk/cpanwww.preshweb.co.uk/github -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
