Validates 1 or more email addresses. Email addresses can be delimited with either comma or semicolon. White space is allowed after delimiter, but not necessary. I needed this to allow my users to specify multiple email addresses if they choose to do so. |

Title: Thanks!

Almost exactly what I needed. I just needed to add an apostrophe character in the [-+.] area (becomes [-+.'] )to cover addresses like brian.o'ryan@company.com.

Title: Optimization of regex

Hi Lewis,
I was going through your regex and I felt as if the second section wherein you have repeated the entire email regex along with space checks, could be done without it. I have added a similar regex on http://regexlib.com/REDetails.aspx?regexp_id=3029. Can you have a look and let me know if it is better optimized? and if not then how I can improve it?
Thanking in anticipation,
Elvis

Title: Trailing ; in ASP.NET

I am using it in validation control (ASP>NET), but it seems that the validator doesn't like the trailing ; character at the end of the list... Tks.

Does not match e-mails with -'s such as First.Last.-XX@domain.com
Such a convention is a legal email addy

The address ".a@b.com" is matched. I think that is wrong.
