Re: Does anyone know of an API to validate an email address?

Use the General Email Regex (RFC 5322 Official Standard)

Example:
dcl-s myEMail varchar(50) inz('mailme@xxxxxxxxxx');
dcl-s myCount int(5) inz;
dcl-c myRegex

'(?:[a-z0-9!#$%&’*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&’*+/=?^_`+

{|}~-]+)*|”(?:[\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x21\x23-\x5b\x5d+

-\x7f]|\\[\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x7f])*”)@(?:(?:[a-z0-9](?:+

[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?|\+

[(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.){3}(?:25+

[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?|[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]:(?:+

[\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x21-\x5a\x53-\x7f]|\\[\x01-\x09+
\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x7f])+)\])';

exec sql
set :myCount = regexp_count( :myEmail, :myRegex);

If myCount = 1;
dsply 'ok';
else;
dsply 'false';
endif;

Betreff: Does anyone know of an API to validate an email address?

I have a screen for the user to enter email addresses. Sometimes they enter
a typo. It would be nice to have an API, instead of writing code for the
validation of an email address.


Thank You
