Lotus Domino Designer 8.5 Help - Examples: @ValidateInternetAddress

FORMULA LANGUAGE

Examples: @ValidateInternetAddress
1. You have designed a form asking the user to input an Internet address. The user enters a standard RFC 821 format Internet address SStreitfeld@gazette.com in the editable field User_Address.

If you enter the field validation formula

validateAddress := @ValidateInternetAddress([Address821]; User_Address); @If(validateAddress != ""; @Failure(validateAddress); @Success)

the validation formula returns an empty string indicating a successful validation.

However if you enter

"Streitfeld, Sara (Miami)" <SStreitfeld@gazette.com>

the validation formula returns the following error message:

"Invalid RFC821 syntax, no Phrase required."

2. The following example returns "Invalid RFC821 syntax, no Phrase required." and "OK" in a list.

User_Address1 := {"Streitfeld, Sara (Miami)" <SStreitfeld@gazette.com>}; User_Address2 := {SStreitfeld@gazette.com}; @Replace(@ValidateInternetAddress( [Address821]; User_Address1 : User_Address2); ""; "OK")

3. The following example returns "Not OK" if any of the elements in the SendTo field validate to an error message and "OK" if every element validates to an empty string.

@If(@ValidateInternetAddress([Address821]; SendTo) != ""; "Not OK"; "OK")

Note Testing the validated list for equality to an empty string does not work because @True is returned if any element is an empty string even if others contain error messages.
