Hello:
Can any body provide me with a regular expression (as per the latest
standards) to check the validity of an email address.
I am using some of the below formats. But these formats are not handling
all the email addresses.
Format I:
ereg(^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.)|(([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$,
$email)
Will not accept hyphen (-) in the email addresses.
Format II:
eregi(^[_\.0-9a-z-]+@([0-9a-z][0-9a-z-]+\.)+[a-z]{2,3}$,$email)
Will not accept domains like y.net.ye
Please suggest a regular expression which will reject only email addresses
which are 100% invalid.
