I'm trying to get a RexEx for a following example to email address. I've been using the RegEx Test and having no luck. Let say I would like to block an address that is thisname@mydomain.com only and not block any other combination with any_number_of_letters_thisname@mydomain.com including the underscores I have the following: ((?i)([^\w]+)thisname\@mydomain\.com) It's not working correctly. It's doing the opposite. It's catching any_number_of_letters_thisname@mydomain.com but not just thisname@mydomain.com If anybody could help that would be great. |

Dan, The RegEx I posted *should* do that. At least, it does in my tests. |

Dan, Something is very strange. I copied and pasted your example and tried it and it didn't work. I went to lunch and tried it again when I came back and it now works in the test with out changing anything. Thanks, |

Hmmm ... my perl habit I makes sure that there is NO case sensitivity in the character search. Technically, if your RegEx is written in all lower case, I suppose you wouldn't need it. Edited by Desperado |
