Google for "Email Regex", you will get tons of hits.
To really cover all cases of valid email addresses you need a very long
regex which is probably subject to change at any time in the future as more
extensions like "biz" etc are added.
I tried to make a more complete regex to validate an email address before
storing it in a database, but immediately ran into problems with odd
addresses like so*****@domain.gov.ky. I ended up going with the most simple
check for at least one letter before and "@" and ends with "." + two
letters. I figured that any invalid email address would be cought by the
SMTP server whenever it is used which is the "final authority" anyway and
will keep current with whatever is considered valid at the time.

In the simplest form:
\w+([-+.]\w+)*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*
should give you what you're looking for...

Thank you for posting in the news groups
I'm very new to programing in fact I have only copied the "helo world" stuff
from a book into the IDE thus far.
However I'm following the news groups to learn from other peoples questions
Your solution looks like the same expression three times one before the @
sign one after the @ sign and one after the (DOT sign) except for the extra
+ sign in the first one? "\w+([-+.]\w+)*" can you tell me the meaning of
this? I think "*" is a wild card (at least it was in my DOS days)
Thank you in advance from a true newbe,
Randy

Take a look at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/az24scfc.aspx
if you jump to the links it might make it a bit easier for you to
understand. What I ended up doing at one point was putting a 'cheat
sheet' together from the pages.
