Email Address Validation

Heres a little function you can use to check your users enter valid email addresses:

<font color="blue">Function IsValidEmail(emailaddress)
Dim mc
Set mc = New RegExp
mc.Pattern = "^\w+((-\w+)|(\.\w+))*\@[A-Za-z0-9]+((\.|-)[A-Za-z0-9]+)*\.[A-Za-z0-9]+$"

results = mc.Test(trim(emailaddress))
If results Then
IsValidEmail = True
Else
IsValidEmail = False
End If
End Function</font id="blue">

Cheers

Pretty kewl, but the Pattern seems alittle long.
I have a function like that but its in javascript

Code:

function isEmail(txt){
    var grep = /\S+@\S+\.\S{2,4}/gi //RegEx Pattern
    return (grep.exec(txt))? true:false;
}// end function

I believe \S+@\S+\.\S{2,4} should work in asp.
