Hi all,

I was wondering if is possible to remove an email address that is included within a string (e.g from a textarea) using something like this:

Function isEmailValid(email)
Set regEx = New RegExp
regEx.Pattern = "[.\w]{3,}@[.\w]{5,}"
isEmailValid = regEx.Test(trim(email))
End Function

If so, how? Sample code?

Thanks

Dimitris

just replace it with an empty string to remove, so when using your pattern
Function RemoveEmails(str)
  Dim re
  
  Set re = New RegExp
  re.Pattern = "[.\w]{3,}@[.\w]{5,}"
  re.Global = True
  
  RemoveEmails = re.Replace(str, "")
  
  Set re = Nothing
End Function
