Validate the email address

[Tina H]

I am stuck.

trying to write a script that validates the email address that the user enter's into my iwp.

all i want to do is check to see if there is a "@" sign in the field somewhere.

I have used position and length with the right and the left text functions, and i can't seem to get it to work.

any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Tina

I figured it out, never mind.

Sticking with it pays off I guess in the end!

my solution was

If[Position(email; "@" ; 1 ; 1 ) = 0

it's bad so notify them about it before continuing

figured it out that position gives the position number so if it isn't there it would be giving a zero as a response.

anyway, thought i would say what i did.

Thanks

or you could get a bit fancier and use this custom function: IsValidEmail
