Validate email format

<p>
sorry I really tried search, just can't seem to find such common thing.
I need to validate a textfield for proper email address format.
</p>
<p>
First, why is it that HTMLDB's Regular Expression List does not include this very common format ???
</p>
Am I supposed to validate email <i>some other way</i> ? How

Hey Scott;
I've tried what you've posted and it works.
But how do handle sub domains?
For example.
[email protected]
How do you write that in the regular expressions?

Validate Email by regular Expression... Need Help

Dear All,
Requirement:
validate the email ID entered & throw error message, if it is invalid.
DATA c_mailpattern TYPE c LENGTH 60 VALUE
'[a-zA-Z0-9._%-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4} '.
** If @ is present, more than once. Error out
    find ALL OCCURRENCES OF '@' in P_email
    MATCH COUNT v_count.
    if v_count > 1.
      v_badpattern = 1.
    endif.
** If , is present, once, Error out
    find ALL OCCURRENCES OF ',' in P_Email
    MATCH COUNT v_count.
    if v_count > 0.
      v_badpattern = v_badpattern + 1.
    endif.
    FIND REGEX c_mailpattern IN P_Email IGNORING CASE .
    IF sy-subrc <> 0 OR v_badpattern > 0.
Write:/ p_EMAIL, 'has invalid Email format'.
ENDIF.
though this works fine, tester needs me to catch, if domain name has "app.com.com" as invalid email id.
above regex fails in such case.
I searched & found
{messageID=3706355}
messageID=1657369}{
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/E-MAIL+Validation
doesn't help.
I found this regex in a perl program.
[a-z0-9!#$%&'{size:14}*+{size:14}/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?
Can I get help to modify this into ABAP String?
1) I can't bypass the boldened text using Escape characters like #* or '' Can some one help me assign this regex-string into a string variable?
2) This regex is longer than allowed length for a literal.
It can be split into 2 strings, then concatenated & checked.

Thanks Sebastian, Pratik & Keshav for the replies.
SX_INTERNET_ADDRESS_TO_NORMAL doesn't validate a wrong email ID. It only splits the internet address into mail & domain.
Prathik,
just .com.com is not the point, Bad input could be .net.ent or .net.com or so....
Amol, Thanks, but I keep receiving Error, not found in the 41 line response I get
I think we need to check not line 2 but line 28.
Taking cue from Prathik, I'm planning to put this
*** ls_inputmail-mail is the email-id entered by user.
************ Check for Valid Regular Expression
*****   DOT(.) is allowed more than once,
*****   @ is allowed only once,
*****   , is not allowed.
** If @ is present, more than once. Error out
    find ALL OCCURRENCES OF '@' in ls_input_mail-mail
    MATCH COUNT v_count.
    if v_count > 1.
      v_badpattern = 1.
    endif.
** If , is present, once, Error out
    find ALL OCCURRENCES OF ',' in ls_input_mail-mail
    MATCH COUNT v_count.
    if v_count > 0.
      v_badpattern = v_badpattern + 1.
    endif.
**   Find if domain part i.e., after @ has errors.
    SPLIT ls_input_mail-mail at '@' into v_mailpart v_domain.
*    there's a dot in the domain.
    if v_domain Co '.' .
*     last 2 char can only be country name, not anything else.
      SPLIT v_domain at '@' into v_domain1 v_domain2.
*      v_domain2 can only be a country name, else error out
select single landx from t005 into v_country
    where landx = v_domain2.
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      v_badpattern = v_badpattern + 1.
    endif.
    ENDIF.
    FIND REGEX c_mailpattern IN ls_input_mail-mail IGNORING CASE .
    IF sy-subrc <> 0 OR v_badpattern > 0.
Write:/ ls_inputmail-mail, 'has invalid email format'.
ENDIF.
However, I was wondering, if there was a way to use escapae characters & make the beow string as a valid regex variable to check email id.
[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?
Nevertheless, Thanks Friends for all your inputs.

Need email format validation code

I m looking for an email format validation code written in J2ME. It should just verify the format, not if the email address exists or not.

Hi there
I would like to use this to validate across multiple addresses... so i tried...
^((\s*\w+([\.-]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*\.(\w{2}|(com|co.uk|co.in|in|net|org|edu|int|mil|gov|arpa|biz|aero|name|coop|info|pro|museum)\s*)(;))\s*{1,100}?)?(\s*\w+([\.-]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*\.(\w{2}|(com|co.uk|co.in|in|net|org|edu|int|mil|gov|arpa|biz|aero|name|coop|info|pro|museum)\s*)(?|;))$
but it doesn't work... it validates against 1 address (with or without a ";" separator... ) but no more...
Any ideas ?

How to validate Emails in a Page

Hi,
I've two items in a data entry screen(page1) say user email,manager email. After entering all mandatory values when I hit submit button it should raise error if email items are null or not valid?so if I enter @yahoo.com should raise error saying enter valid mail with [email protected] I enter same email id for both manager and user should raise again saying manager email should not be same as user email.
Thanks,
Mahender.

Do something like that in your validation:
1- for validation of similar emails :
use validation : function body returns boolean
if :MGR_EMAIL = :USER_EMAIL THEN
return false;
End if;and identify your error msg.
2- for validation of empty emails :
use validation (item is not null) for both emails
3- for validation of email format :
use validation : fucntion returning error msg
IF INSTR(:MGR_EMAIL,'@') < 2 THEN
return 'Invalid email format for manager';
elsif INSTR(:USER_EMAIL,'@') < 2 THEN
return 'Invalid email format for suer';
END IF;Hope this helps!
Sam

How to validate Email Address in HTML DB Application

Hi,
I have delevoped one Employee Login Details form in HTML DB. But i am unable to validate that email address as i find html db is not supporting String functions like indexOf(char c), substring(int) ect. So please can anybody help me to know how to validate email address that it has @ and . symbol or not.
Thanks in advance.

user529382,
You may be able to use Regular Expressions instead, if you do a search in this forum for 'regex' you should find a few hits.
While I agree that using a regular expression is a great way to verify that the user has entered an email address that conforms to the regular expression rules, it is still nothing more than that....conforming to the regular express rules.
The only way to 100% confirm that an email address is 'valid', is to actually send an email to it, so what I tend to do is to get the user to enter their email twice (in a user registration screen for example), that way you can minimize the chance of 'typos', then send out a 'verification email' that the user has to click a link on to verify they have received it (I'm sure you've seen this type of system before), only when the confirmation is received would I then make the account 'active'.
Hope this helps.

Changing email format to UTF8

Is that possible to change the email format to utf8 before going out. Thank you

Hi,
It is definately possible, but the process depends a bit on how your Office 365 identity setup looks like, and also what you actually want to do?
Do you want to change the logon username as well?
Are you using DirSync for provisioning accounts? If that is the case, it's in your on-premise Active directory you need to do the changes.
Here's a very quick example that sets primary email address for all users to
[email protected] (note that I'm not changing the logon address). I am also assuming that you have Displayname formatted as "Firstname Lastname". It will not remove any old
addresses, just set them as aliases.
Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails UserMailbox| Foreach-Object {
$DisplayName = $_.DisplayName.split(" ").tolower()
$NewEmailAddress = "$($DisplayName[0]).$($DisplayName[1])@365lab.dk"
Write-Host "Old primary email address is $($_.WindowsEmailAddress), will change to $NewEmailAddress"
Set-Mailbox -Identity $_.Alias -WindowsEmailAddress $NewEmailAddress -WhatIf
You need to remove WhatIf from the set-mailbox cmdlet in order to do actual Changes...

Email format

Without any warning, my wife's email format changed to the new email management tool being offered by Verizon. My email has renained as always and I do not want to change. How do we get her email changed back to the older format?

Unfortunately, there is no way to get back the classic E Mail. Eventually everyone will be switched over and it will go bye bye!

New Email Format

Rather than an idea, this is a plea for help because I was unable to find another place through Online Support to make a complaint.
The changes recently made to the email format (around 1/20/2011) for how to select email contacts when trying to send a message are HORRIBLE. You can no longer select the email address from a list that contains the contact's actual name. As I'm sure you are aware, many people don't use their actual names in their email addresses. They use any combination of initials, numbers, and sometimes names that mean nothing to anyone but themselves. In 2011, we all have hundreds of email contacts, and just like phone numbers, we don't keep them in our heads, but select them from directories that we pay for through our service contracts. Since the changes were made, the list to select email addresses is just all mushed together with the email addresses running from one line to the other. You can’t even see the entire address. PLEASE go back to giving us a list that contains the person's actual names so we will be able to select contacts. I am a triple-play customer who also has wireless service, but if some changes aren’t made, I will have to change to another provider. I will have to cancel it all because since 1/20/2011 (the past 4 days) I have been unable to send several emails because I don’t know people’s email addresses; I need to see their name beside it. Today, we all use email, texting, etc. to contact our friends and colleagues. I’m sure I can’t be the only person who dislikes this or who has complained. And, it’s not merely a matter of disliking the new way, it is unusable; Verizon is causing me to lose communication with my contacts. Whoever made the decision to change the selection of email addresses to this new way is a terrible designer and, at the very least, should be reprimanded. AND, I hate the way these severe changes are always made to the email access without any warning or instructions on what the changes have been or how to use them. Please provide a more user-friendly environment.

I have to agree with most of the opinions mentioned here. The new email format is absolutely more cumbersome to use, not very practical, and doesn't perform as well as the old version. It also looks ugly and confusing. All the teeny-tiny window areas in which to view anything is horrible. I tried changing my Settings in my Mail area, however, after half an hour on three separate occasions, of trying to 'SAVE' my settings, I gave up. I cannot change my email settings to a "Classic View". Just doesn't work.
My husband and I were thinking of going FIOS but after viewing and trying to use this new email design, we are having second thoughts. Optonline is looking pretty good and we will be checking them out instead. Too bad, we've been with Verizon a long time. I guess some think these new changes were an improvement. Not me!

Unable to validate email

Help please. I have a Curve 8520 and have been trying to download new apps. When I enter my password I get the message 'unable to validate email address and password'. If I select 'forgot password'   I get the message 'Blackberry is having trouble connecting to ... server. Verify your network connections and try again - error 30637'. Have checked my email settings and these seem ok and I am receiving email on the Blackberry on the same email account. I am probably missing something really obvious here but can someone put me out of my misery?

Provisioning Password Email Formated Incorrectly

The Provisioning Password email format is being generated incorrectly for some of the requests.
User ID: CARRIETA
Password: AhB8SJSAPSystem: EQA-130
The password and the system information are conjoined. This creates a password that is invalid and has caused some frustration with the user community. Not all of the Provisioning Password emails are generated in this manner. The majority of them are created correctly with the 3 lines of information
User ID:
Password:
SAP System:
Has anyone seen this before? Any insight is appreciated.
Thanks

We had this problem with 5.2. We finally figured out that when a " > " sign was in the middle of the SAP-generated password, that character and the rest of them in the password were removed, and the next line started where that character should be. This is not an SAP problem - it is the format of the mail - HTML. If you forward the message, you can see the entire password.
We also had poor users who had an equal sign " = " as the first character in their initial password and thought the password started at the next character ( Password: =Ab12Cd$ was interpretted as AB12Cd$ Instant lock)
Our solution was to prevent SAP from generating any special characters in its passwords. Not only did this prevent the truncated password email, but it was much easier for new SAP users to enter an initial password that had letters and numbers only in it.
The table to change is PRGN_CUST. Add a value GEN_PSW_MAX_SPECIALS of 0 to prevent any special characters.
