Email Address Validation With RegEx?
Mar 7, 2012
I have been using a function to validate email addresses for awhile now. Yesterday i discovered that the code indicates that 2 different email addresses are invalid when in reality they are perfectly fine.
The code uses RegEx to determine if an email address is valid. I have tried to understand RegEx, but I can never seem to figure it out. Here is the
Private Sub btnCheckEmail_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCheckEmail.Click
If ValidateEmailAddress(txtEmail.Text) = True Then
[Code]....
How can the RegEx be re-written to allow the local part (before the @ symbol) to be 1 character, and/or be a number? I understand the "a-z" part, but i don't understand what [w.-] means, or why the a-z is duplicated before the @ symbol.

My Regex works, except if the email address entered has an underscore character (_) in it.
Because of my lack of experience with regular expressions, I'm not sure where in my pattern I'm supposed to add the offending character to allow it:
Dim pattern As String = "^[-a-zAZ0-9][-.a-zA-Z0-9]*@[-.a-zA-Z0-0]+(.[-.a-zA-Z0-0+)*." & _
"(com|edu|info|gov|int|mil|net|org|biz|name|museum|coop|aero|pro|tv|[a-zA-Z]{2})$"
He said he fixed it by adding the _ after the numeric check.
I see the A-Z0-9, but I'm not sure which is the numeric check...

I have to make a basic program that: Create a program with a simple interface that
1. Asks the user type his/her email address into a textbox.
2. When the user clicks the "Evaluate Email Address" button, one of two message boxes pops up: "That is a valid email address!" with an "Information" icon, or "That is an invalid email address!" and on a second line, "Please retype your email address.", with an "Exclamation" icon
3. To be considered valid, the email address must -include an "@" symbol, and -it must end in either ".com", ".net", or ".org" or ".edu" (I don't know how to check a string and test if its last four characters end with any of these and make it say not valid email address. I think I might have to use a case statement)

I've tried implementing a rather simple email validation function that seems return a false match even though the input is a valid email. I have searched for any issues with the existing regex but it seems to be correct.Even though the match returns a false value the program is stepping to the next validation level (which it shouldn't).Here is the email validation function.
Function EmailAddressChecker(ByVal emailAddress As String) As Boolean
Dim regExPattern As String = "^[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+.[A-Z]{2,4}$"
Dim emailAddressMatch As Match = Regex.Match(emailAddress, regExPattern)
[code].....

I have a txt box that askes a user to enter his email address and I want to make sure the user enters a correctly formatted email.
The code I have so far is like this
If txtEmail.Text = "" Then
txtEmail.BackColor = Color.Pink
MessageBox.Show("Please Enter your Email")
Exit Sub
Else
txtEmail.BackColor = Color.White
End If
How I can modify this code to make it work and is regular expressions the same for all programming languages? Also for my mobile number text box I only want a user to enter a 10 digit number with only integer numbers.
The code I have so far is
If txtNumber.Text = "" Then
txtNumber.BackColor = Color.Pink
MessageBox.Show("Please Enter your Mobile")
Exit Sub
Else
txtNumber.BackColor = Color.White
End If

I am using this regex string in one of my programs to validate email adresses: "^[a-z0-9._%+-]+@[a-z0-9.-]+.[a-z]{2,4}$". This works well for the most part, but I just found out that it doesn't catch an address like this ... "john.doe.@yahoo.com" ... where there's a "." right before the "@", which is invalid, so my program tries to send it & throws an exception. How to modify my regex string to catch this situation?

I am using this expression to validate e-mail addresses:
"^[_a-z0-9-]+(.[a-z0-9-]+)@[a-z0-9-]+(.[a-z0-9-]+)*(.[a-z]{2,4})$"
I noticed that in order for the e-mail address to validate, I need to put in at least 3 characters before the @ symbol. Is this a requirement? What if I just want to have an e-mail address with 1 or 2 characters before the @ symbol?

A client for our company contains an apostrophe in their email name joe's@joe.com. I was advised that this is the correct and current email for the given client. Below is the Expression string I am using with Regex (which I copied from the internet somewhere) to validate email addresses. How can this expression be modified to allow/accept apostrohe's?
strRegex =
"^([a-zA-Z0-9_-.]+)@(([[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.)|(([a-zA-Z0-9-]+.)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(]?)$"

What I would like to do is create a command button that launches an email from outlook attaching the current word document to a set email address. I'm not fussed if the word document is saved or not as it is only the email receipent that needs it, likewise I don't mind if the code instructs the email to send of just opens it ready to be sent.I have read through loads of forums and tried loads of codes but cannot get any to work.

I am sending an email using VS2010 VB which works fine, except I would like to have the recipient see their name in lieu of their email address upon receiving the email. I've tried different 'To' addresses, ([URL]), but nothing seems to work. It always shows the email address when received.

I need to set validation on a textbox where the user types in their email address... This is not a required field though so I want to allow the form to be submitted if the textbox contains the default text ("Email address").I've posted the code i have already to ensure a valid email address is typed.
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator CssClass="errorpopup" Display="Dynamic" ID="regexpEmail"
ValidationGroup="mySubmit" runat="server" ErrorMessage="<strong>Please enter a valid email address.</strong>"
ControlToValidate="tbEmail" ValidationExpression="w+([-+.']w+)*@w+([-.]w+)*.w+([-.]w+)*"
SetFocusOnError="true" />

I'm trying to get started with Fedex'es Address validation service and I'm running into a road block with FedEx's own demo application. [code] It seems to send the request object to the web service, but the"reply" object is returned with "Nothing". I could understand if I wrote the code, but good god... they can't even get their own code to work?

I made this small location class so that I can better handle address information which I am going to be sending off in requests to the Google Maps API. One thing I have left to do is some validation to make sure that the address has enough information to return a result back. For the application, the level of accuracy should be as loose as a single City (meaning that it should work as long as a zip code or city/state is provided since it will find the geographic center of that area automatically in Google Maps)

I'm having some problems with validating Urls and IP addresses with RegEx.
This regular expression doesn't work properly. For example, it returns True for "www.123.123.123.123" and "http://www.123.123.123.123".
vb.net
Regex.IsMatch(txtTextBox.Text, "(((http|https)://)|(www.))+(([a-zA-Z0-9._-]+.[a-zA-Z]{2,6})|([0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}))")

i have my program all working, but i need to pass an additional piece of information and noticed that when you are in the debug mode and you expand the email address there is a DisplayName when you break down User and Host in the To field
Example Code
emailAddress = "someone@dreamincode.net"
Name = "Joe Someone"

I am working on a web form that instead of having the user enter their email address, I would like to be able to retrieve that information and assign it to a variable. So everything remains transparent. So basically what I am asking is. Whether or not vb.net has a class that allows you to get the users email.
