regex is correct but some issue in the script

[Community Alums]

Hi,

I wrote the regex for validating the email ID, but the problem is coming with respect to the code. Kindly help.

function onSubmit() {

	var email_ID = g_form.getValue("email");
	
	
		var testEmail = /^([a-z0-9A-Z\_\.]*)@([a-z\.]*)$/;

		if (!testEmail.test(email_ID)) {
			g_form.addErrorMessage("invalid email");
			return false;
		}
		return true;

Regards

It would help to know what the error message is.  I'm assuming you did not paste all of the code since you are missing a "}" at the end and its not really formatted well.

Hi @DrewW ,

Here is the complete script formatted. It is showing error even for proper format ones

function onSubmit() {

    var email_ID = g_form.getValue("email");
    var testEmail = /^([a-z0-9A-Z\_\.]*)@([a-z\.]*)$/;
    if (!testEmail.test(email_ID)) {
        g_form.addErrorMessage("invalid email");
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

Sounds like you need to check your RegEx like @maroon_byte is mentioning.

Hi @DrewW and @maroon_byte ,

My exact requirement is I can have as many a-z, A-Z, 0-9 before @. Then after that, it should only accept small letters.

So, I tried to update it like this. Still doesn't work.

function onSubmit() {

    var email_ID = g_form.getValue("email");
    var testEmail = /^([a-z0-9A-Z\_\.]*)@([a-z]*)+\.[a-z]*$/;
    if (!testEmail.test(email_ID)) {
        g_form.addErrorMessage("invalid email");
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}
