Regular Expression Help

[Moshambi]

I have this regular expression to test for an email:

/^[a-zA-Z0-9\- ]+\@[a-zA-Z0-9 \-\.]+\.([a-zA-Z]{2,3})$/;


It works all good except that if I put an email like:

johndoe@this..com

It will say its valid even though there are two '.'

Any idea how I could fix this?

Try using this, I got it from one of the Dynamic Drive functions. I've tested it against your example and it doesn't allow the double "."


var emailfilter=/^\w+[\+\.\w-]*@([\w-]+\.)*\w+[\w-]*\.([a-z]{2,4}|\d+)$/i
