Hmm - I think you may be correct on this
I just entered another e-mail onto this reply, and the system automatically inserted a semicolon

Shouldn't a semicolon work instead of a comma? It should-- many email systems use that as a delimiter between multiple addresses, and won't accept a comma.

Thanks Charles, Rob
I never thought about that, and see what you mean - however - most of these are separated by anything but a comma

Kind of agree, they might have a legitimate business reason for doing so.
Like send an email to my off work / on work account. Or send it to a primary contact and their minion.

Note that if the email addresses are separated by a comma, it should be
valid..

in the e-mailfield
LOCATE_IN_STRING() would do it..
select *
from mytable
where LOCATE_IN_STRING(myfld, '@',1,2) > 0;

Hi everyone
Before I forget - we are on V7r3
Well - its Friday - after 3 p.m. and I get one of those - Are you
kidding me, moments We have a file of customer information, that has a
field for e-mail addresses, and I can see where some records have two
OR MORE e-mail addresses in this field
My question is
Can I use SQL to locate which records have more than one e-mail
address by finding more than 1 @ inside this field
I have looked at LOCATE, REPLACE, POSSTR and cannot get to something
that seems to work
As always - all replied gratefully accepted
