I would like to create an email address that allows random lengths before and after the @ symbol.

I understood that, and the RegExp I provided will do it.

Use this code as your field's custom validation script:

if (event.value) {

event.rc = /^.+@.+$/.test(event.value);

}

If you want to make sure it includes a period in the second part use this, instead:

if (event.value) {

event.rc = /^.+@.+\..+$/.test(event.value);

}

Thanks for this.

You can't use an arbitrary mask for that. You need to use a custom validation script.

The most basic validation would be against the RegExp /^.+@.+$/.

I guess I should have been more specific. I was wanting to create a field with a script that would validate and email address of random length. i.e., verifying _________@_____.____ where the underline areas are any character/length and the "@" and "." are known and expected for validation. Thanks. Not sure how to implement RegExp /^.+@.+$/
