StringSplit Help

[ReaImDown]

I was wondering how I would check a user input and verify that is is a PROPER Email. IE,

VALID Emails

XXXX@XXXX.XXX

INVALID Emails

XXXX@XXXXXXX

XXXXXXXX.XXX

XXXXXXXXXXX

Description: This pattern allows standard e-mail addresses (e.g. user@domain.com), sub domains (e.g. user@foo.domain.com), the new two- and four-letter domains (e.g. user@domain.tv and user@domain.name) and country codes (e.g. user@foo.com.us). Also, this patter follows the Network Solutions standard length of 67 characters for top-level domains. The reason I allow numbers to be entered in the domain suffix is for future planning. If you do not want numbers to be able to be added as a domain suffix (e.g. user@domain.123), simply delete the last two occurrences of "\d". Matches: foo@foo.com|||foo@foo-foo.com.au|||foo@foo.foo.info Non-Matches: foo@.com|||foo@foo..com|||foo@me@.com Author: Laurence O'Donnell

$email = "billgates@microsoft.com"
$result = StringRegExp($email,"^([\w\d\-\.]+)@{1}(([\w\d\-]{1,67})|([\w\d\-]+\.[\w\d\-]{1,67}))\.(([a-zA-Z\d]{2,4})(\.[a-zA-Z\d]{2})?)$", 0)
MsgBox(0,"",$result)

You could use StringRegExp() to verify Syntax, but when it comes to actual domain validity, maybe you could search for verifiers online
