| I haven't had problems. I got it from a book or online and I remember that it stated that a couple "obscure" cases weren't contemplated. I can't remember what cases were not contemplated, but they were not relevant enough to justify a much more complex regex.< |

Thanks, Huw; have replaced the RegEx with your one. Looks like this was the source of your one, Rui - some interesting, over-the-top alternatives in that article.

actually mine needs a slight adjustment
\w*([!#$%*/?|\^{}`~&'+-=_])*\w*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*
it was not allowing this address a!#$%&'*+-/=?@example.com which believe it or not is perfectly valid.
there are still a few cases that won't validate, but they would be very unusual.< |

sorry, another tweak, this should be much better
[A-Z0-9!#$%*/?|\^{}`~&'+-=_]*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*< |

Thanks, again, Huw; will add that to the script when I get back on the other machine.
