Thread: Regular expression question

Can anyone help me, what it means?

^[a-zA-Z].*[0-9]$

letter at the beginning of a line, then 0 - n any characters, and number at the end of that line.

Email validator that adheres directly to the specification for email address naming. It allows for everything from ipaddress and country-code domains, to very rare characters in the username. And this is what is looks like: "^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.)|(([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$"

ciullaanthony I meant what "^[a-zA-Z].*[0-9]$" means.

thanks martin, I understand it now. "^" is start of the line and "$" is end of the line?
