Hi, jdalbec. Thanks for replying.

Please use <code> tags around Perl code so it displays correctly.

Actually I used, but since the <code> tags are inside a <ol> tag maybe they aren't displaying correctly...

You may want to use (?: ... ) for grouping so you don't get a bunch of assignments to $1, $2, etc.

True, thanks for pointing this out.

Also {1} is redundant.

Also true. Thanks again, but...

In several cases your comments don't match what the regexp is doing.

Actually I've made a lot of testing and apparently it is... Could you clarify this part a little? I'm curious.

In 2. the (\.)+ allows two or more dots in a row. I think you probably just want to drop the + (and the redundant parentheses).

and

In 3. you have almost the same problem. Try changing * to ? unless you mean to allow multiple dashes/underscores in a row.

Actually I want to allow multiple dots, dashes and underscores since 'er.galvao.abbott@somedomain.com' or 'er_galvao_abbott@somedomain.com' are valid addresses.

In 9. I think you want (?:\.(?:[a-z0-9]){2,})*. I'm leaving the * (even though you said "possibly") since I think you can have any number of domain levels in a FQDN.

Thanks, I'll give this chunk a try and see what happens.

Thanks a lot for your reply,

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
