Function to find Special characters in a emailid

9 New Member
Hi,

I Want a function written for finding the special characters in a emailid..
Suppose, i've a column email in a table and inserting a emailid with any of the special characters then if i compile the funtion then it should show the wrong emailid's

Example: If a emailid is dear#$saran@gma il!#$%.com then 1st it should check any special char from 1st letter to '@' and one more condition is after @ is there any sepcial char(even space is considered as special char).
If error is there then that emailids are to be shown...

I've found partially but don't know to write the function for my requirement... here is the query..

select translate(subst r('dear#$%saran @gmail.com', 1, instr('dear#$%s aran@gmail.com' , '@',1,1)), ' ~!@#$%^&*()+-?><,/|\'":;][}{`', '') from dual;

I don't know whether its working or not.. I believe the above query will replace the special char but i don't want to replace, I want a query which shows mailid's with error...
pls help me out for the regarding

Is the code below valid? Generally a value must be accessed through the same type it was stored as, but there is an exception for data stored through a character type. I'm not sure if that applies in this case though: #include <limits.h> unsigned foo(void) { static const union { unsigned char str;
