To be exact, I want to do this:
/^[#-'*+\-/-9\=\?a-z\^\_\`\{\}\~](\.{0,1}[#-'*+\-/-9\=\?a-z\^\_\`\{\}\~])*@([A-Za-z0-9_]+\.{1})+[A-Za-z]{2}[A-Za-z]*$/
Id est, check the email to see if it is a valid email address.
If there is another way to check the email address that the user input upon
character creation than to check it like this with a reg exp, then I am
very interested in hearing about it. If not, then I will try to use what
you told me about.
Are there any good C reference pages online that I can read about regexp,
and other C functions for that matter, please email them to me since I am
dying for online reference.
Kind regards,
Torgny
