And how long did it take to figure this out and to debug?

Your propeller hat must have been spinning like crazy  ;-))

Just for the archives, if it helps anyone, here is the Regex pattern we
use:


"^((?>[a-zA-Z\d!#$%&'*+\-/=?^_`{|}~]+\x20*|""((?=[\x01-\x7f])[^""\\]|\\[\x01

-\x7f])*""\x20*)*(?<angle><))?((?!\.)(?>\.?[a-zA-Z\d!#$%&'*+\-/=?^_`{|}~]+)+

|""((?=[\x01-\x7f])[^""\\]|\\[\x01-\x7f])*"")@(((?!-)[a-zA-Z\d\-]+(?<!-)\.)+

[a-zA-Z]{2,}|\[(((?(?<!\[)\.)(25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|[01]?\d?\d)){4}|[a-zA-Z\d\-]*
[a-zA-Z\d]:((?=[\x01-\x7f])[^\\\[\]]|\\[\x01-\x7f])+)\])(?(angle)>)$"

It wouldn't be pretty to implement in an RPG program...
