    \w+([-+.']\w+)*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*

    Above is an expression to validate a given email address as being in the correct format. What I want to do now is make sure the address is at least 6 characters long as well. Any ideas?

{n,} where n >= 1


Repeats the previous item at least n times. Greedy, so as many items as possible will be matched before trying permutations with less matches of the preceding item, up to the point where the preceding item is matched only n times.

    you will have to tweak ur expression a little

    Thank for that. I get that {n,m} is going to have to go into the expression somewhere. I just can't work out where :(

    Anywho, I shall persevere ...
