Happy to help! % 1 more question.i need help with reqular expressions.i want to check valid % (email) % usernanes for my mail server .i.e. Qmail. any help welcome. It's come up before, so the first place to look is the archives. It's pretty easy to check for a legally formatted mail address; it's a bit trickier to check for a valid right hand side; it's impossible to check for a valid left hand side unless it's your own machine. Basically, and from the top of my head, an email address is a letter or number any number of letters, numbers, underscores, dashes, plusses, periods an @ either a letter any number of letters and numbers, perhaps separated by periods a period a TLD (currently 2, 3, or 4 letters) or an IP address and so it gets a little hairy to write but it can be done. You might also do a quick google search for something like email address regular expression check to see if someone has worked out a good and complete one. % thanx in advance % Haseeb HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) davidtg@justpickone.org * society and not sufficient moral courage.
