RE: EMAIL Syntax Validation

You could find a email validation regex online and execute the corresponding
C API to see if the value met the criteria of the regular expression. Here
is an example of an email validation regular expression:

regExEml =
"^[a-zA-Z][\w\.-]*[a-zA-Z0-9]@[a-zA-Z0-9][\w\.-]*[a-zA-Z0-9]\.[a-zA-Z][a-zA-
Z\.]*[a-zA-Z]$";


Here's an example link from the archives on how to call the reg* C API's:

Subject: EMAIL Syntax Validation


  Does anyone have an email syntax validation routine they could post...or
point me to a sample somewhere?  I just want to make sure it is in a valid
format.  I don't care if it is a valid address or if the domain exists.
Oh....it also has to be in RPG III.....don't ask.....
   
  Thanks,
  Bob Voltz
