[thelist] RegExp in ASP for validating e-mail and URLs?

[Peter Bornhall]

Alex,

Thanks for the benefit of a doubt.  I *DID* mail you and said that I 
would not be able to respond to your mail until monday (today).  I also 
mailed you a long list of specs for what I wanted, and if any of that 
gave you an indication of wanting to use it for anything malicious, I 
sure want to know what it was.

So, "why *does* this guy from sweden want an "@" finder?".  Well, I 
*thought* I had been clear about it in the mails I sent you, but 
obviously I've been sentenced, tried and judged for wanting help with 
regular expressions, which isn't in my power to create.

Look people, I'm *SORRY* for not being able to answer mails during 
friday to sunday, but the whole friday was spent on a business trip and 
the weekend was used for cleaning our house and unclogging the floor 
drain in the basement shower.  Believe me, I wouldn't mind getting 
"paid" for doing nothing like the spammers, but I really, *really* hate 
being forced to spend 15 minutes every single day to delete spam.

Seems to me that I won't be getting any help here, so I guess I'll just 
have to forget the whole thing, or come back to it at a later stage...

Regards,
