Regex Expression For Validating Email Addresses To Accept An Apostrophe ' In The Email Name?
Jul 15, 2010
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})(]?)$"

I have the following text that I am trying to parse:
"user1@emailaddy1.com" <user1@emailaddy1.com>, "Jane Doe" <jane.doe@ addyB.org>,
"joe@company.net" <joe@company.net>
I am using the following code to try and split up the string:
Dim groups As GroupCollection
Dim matches As MatchCollection
Dim regexp1 As New Regex("""(.*)"" <(.*)>")
matches = regexp1 .Matches(toNode.InnerText)
For Each match As Match In matches
groups = match.Groups
message.CompanyName = groups(1).Value
message.CompanyEmail = groups(2).Value
Next
But this regular expression is greedy and is grabbing the entire string up to the last quote after "joe@company.net". I'm having a hard time putting together an expression that will group this string into the two groups I'm looking for: Name (in the quotes) and E-Mail (in the angle brackets).

I have created an application and I need to send emails to different addresses. I want to do this inside my application without automating email software like outlook etc. I have used CDO , and different activex like ostrosoft , chilkat etc .But is the same problem : Emails are sended correctly without error messages but :Some emails are received ( like in yahoo adresses), a lot of emails are marked as spam, and all the emails send to hotmail addresses are lost, not received. To send emails I'm using a regular domain, with smtp server, port, user name and password. And when I send emails from the same configuration on outlook express from the same computer, all the emails are received correctly.

I have a simple email.aspx page that has From:, To:, Subject:, and Body: text boxes. The send button is set to send the email using smtp through System.Net.Mail in ASP.NET 4.
What I'm really trying to do is set the To: address to automatically retrieve all of the email addresses stored in my SQL database table that my customers entered when they registered for updates from my websites, rather than me type each one in by hand. I am wanting it completely automated without any user interaction.
I have looked everywhere for weeks to try to get help and I can't seem to find anything describing what I am trying to do.

I am trying to send email messages to multiple email addresses from a listbox. Here is my code -
For i = 0 To lstbxEmailAddress.SelectedItems.Count - 1
If EmailAddressTo = "" Then
EmailAddressTo = CType(lstbxEmailAddress.SelectedItems(i), DataRowView).Item("EmailAddress")
[Code]...
I am able to get the email addresses stored in the variable EmailAddressTo separated by a comma in between addresses. However, it only sends to the first email address. I selected two addresses but it only sent to the first address. How can I add multiple addresses using the To.Add method?

I have a VB.Net program that manually sends email via the MS Exchange Server. When an email is sent it will always have at least 1 pdf file attached to it. After all the emails have been sent (which could be alot), the pdf files are moved to an archived directory.My problem that seems to be occurring is that some of the attachments are not being moved because they are "locked" by another process. I'm assuming this "other" process is the Exchange server handling the pdf attachment but I'm not positive about this.How can I check to see if the attachment was successfully depositied into the Exchange server?

I have taken an interest in creating a SMTP server in vb.net that has the ability to hide ip addresses in email headers.I see that some people claim that it's possible around on the internet, but I haven't seen any direct source code to create an anonymous smtp server in visual basic 2008.Now I know that it's legal to send emails via a masked ip address and I believe that it's also fair since some people believe in anonymity, but I am in all means against spammers.

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)

I'm looking for a .Net PDF Viewer tool that will accept the barcode font as well as allow the user to save, email, and print the PDF. I tried the tool by SkySof, but it doesn't handle barcodes. We're having trouble using the COM PDF control because of other stuff that needs to be installed on our servers. Our customer would prefer that the tool be under $1000. We're using Visual Studio 2008 and this is a windows application being served up by Citrix.

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.

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 sending an email with an attachment using the following Code
Dim msg As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage(req.EmailFrom, req.EmailTo)
Dim att As New System.Net.Mail.Attachment("C:Documents and SettingsmichaelrDesktop1216259.pdf")
With msg
.Attachments.Add(att)
[code]....
The file size of the attachment is 396KB, upon the recipient receiving the email outlook shows the file size as 543Kb. Strange thing is if I send an email with the same attachment using outlook the file size is 396Kb.I understand that file sizes can increase due to the attachment being base 64 encoded as opposed to just raw binary.What I am failing to see is why outlook send a file which is 396KB in size but in code when sending it, the same file is 543Kb.

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?

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'm trying to get my program to send very simple text email messages. I did do a search beforehand, and found that I was having the same issue as someone else, but the specific question I have was not answered --
I've learned that if you're trying to send mail, you need an SMTP server... I found this list here but every one of them I've tried yields the same "Failure sending mail" error.
Here's my
Dim mail As New MailMessage()
mail.From = New MailAddress("me@mycompany.com")
mail.To.Add("destination-email@whatever.com")
[CODE]...
Is the problem that I need to show "credentials" (i.e. user/pass)? If so, what would those credentials be? Can I use my yahoo email SMTP server with my login info to do it? And is this all I'd need to add to add the credentials?
smtp.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("MyUsername", "MyPassword")
(before the smtp.Send, of course)

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'm using the Chilkat add-on to read email from a pop3 server. I can download the headers fine but the headers all download into one column.How can I get my email to put the headers in the appropriate columns?
'Display the From email address and the subject.
ListView2.Items.Add(email.From)
ListView2.Refresh()
ListView2.Items.Add(email.EmailDate)
ListView2.Refresh()

What I am trying to do is to download the "From" person into the "From" columns and the "Date" of the email into the date column, so on and so forth but I'm not able to get them to go into their separate columns.

I am buidling an application that users can use to submit text data and attachments to email recipients. Certain fields, quite a few in fact from the textboxes in the app will be in the email body, and some in the subject line.This is how I am doing it right now, but I figured there has to be a better way. In VB it is one single line of code, not many like it is here. Ideally I would like to be able to better control the positioning in the message body.
mail.Body = String.Concat(Label1.Text, " ", TextBox1.Text, " ", Label2.Text, " ", TextBox3.Text, " ", Label5.Text, " ", DateTimePicker1.Text, " ", Label3.Text, " ", TextBox2.Text, " ", Label6.Text, " ", RichTextBox1.Text, " ", Label7, " ", RichTextBox2.Text)
