Hi,

I have a field such as mail-id. Need to validate as below.

mail-id new rule as:

mail id could have comment also included(optional).But , in case if included
could be included at start or end of the local part of the mail-id(before @ symbol).

Examples as
subject(comment)@sub.com ==> VALID
(comment)subject@sub.com ==> VALID

sub(comment)ject@sub.com ==> Invalid ( '(comment)' is included in the local part other than start or end of local part of the mail-id.

In case comment such as (comment) comes other than start or end of the mail-id , it should throw an error.

How could I implement such logic.

Thanks in advance.

You do not mention which programming language you are using so this is a generic answer:

Hi,

Sorry for not including the Programming Language.

This is for COBOL.

Thanks,

Still. that spec will work for a routine written in COBOL.
