Validate E-mail address

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is anyone familiar with function module that helps validate E-mail address ?

Hi,

[validate email address |]

[RichHeilman]

You can use a RegEx for this. Here is an example program.

PARAMETERS email TYPE c LENGTH 30 LOWER CASE DEFAULT '<enter email address>'.
DATA matcher TYPE REF TO cl_abap_matcher.

matcher = cl_abap_matcher=>create(
             pattern = `\w+(\.\w+)*@(\w+\.)+(\w{2,4})`
             ignore_case = 'X'
             text = email ).
IF matcher->match( ) is INITIAL.
  MESSAGE 'Wrong Format' TYPE 'I'.
ELSE.
  MESSAGE 'Format OK' TYPE 'I'.
ENDIF.

Hi Rich,

You code works exactly what I need in my program to do..

Thanks a lot...

this code doesn't validate this type of email address

abc.efg-xyz@domain.com

I used this code and I get error of 'Invalid email address'

instead try this regex

'^([0-9a-zA-Z]([-.w]*[0-9a-zA-Z])*@([0-9a-zA-Z][-w]*[0-9a-zA-Z].)+[azA-Z]{2,9})$'
