texte = Does someone have a good solution to check the syntax of email addresses after user input?I have a working piece of code now but I'm not happy with it. It runs through the address with [getchars] and does a lookup for each character in a database to find out wether it is allowed or not. And It checks the presence of @ and a dot.Now, while making this better, it grows and grows... I would have to add two or three sets of characters for different platforms. And I want to check for multiple @, for trailing dots, and so on - long code for a rather simple task. I wonder if I am on the right way - any ideas?Maybe there is a hidden feature [ValidEmail] which works like [ValidCard]...;-)TIA,Peter__________________________________________Peter Ostry - po@ostry.com - www.ostry.comOstry & Partner - Ostry Internet SolutionsAuhofstrasse 29 A-1130 Vienna Austriafon ++43-1-8777454 fax ++43-1-8777454-21
