Hello All,
In this blog am going to explain how a simple and powerful Regular Expression can be used to Validate email address field on Contact Info Portlet.
Requirement 1: Email address field should mandate with "@" symbol and should have ". (dot)" at any place after @ symbol and can end with any type of domain.
Example: sap@sap.uk or sap@sap.edu or sap@sap.com
Below is the explanation for the above to be configured regular expression. we are going to use it on rule to validate email address.
^ Beginning. Beginning of the line.
+ Quantifier. Match 1 or more of the preceding character or token
$ End. End of the line.
Now that we got a fair idea of those expressions, let us see how we can configure above expression to a rule to validate email address.
Create a "IF" condition with "Matches" function like below and have an error message to "Then" condition
Attach the above rule to OnChange - Email address field and OnSave - Email Address Portlet.
Requirement 2: Email address field should mandate with "@" symbol and should end with ".COM" only.
Example: sap@sap.com (Note: should accept only .com)
Requirement 3: Email address field should mandate with "@" symbol and should end with particular domain Only.
Example: sap@karthik.com (should end with @karthik.com only.)
Regular Expression is a very simple and a powerful expression which can be used in many ways for these kind of validations, it can be used over any string field for character set validations also.

Regular Expression: ^[\w-\.]+@([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]{2,3}$
Below is the explanation for the above to be configured regular expression. we are going to use it on rule to validate email address.
^ Beginning. Beginning of the line.
[ Character Set. Match any character in the set.
\w word. Matches any word character (alphanumeric & underscore).
- Character. Matches a "-" character

) Capturing groups. closes a capture group
{2,3} Quantifier. Match between 2 and 3 of the preceding character or token
$ End. End of the line.

Requirement 3: Email address field should mandate with "@" symbol and should end with particular domain Only.
Example: sap@karthik.com (should end with @karthik.com only.)
Regular Expression: ^[\w-\.]+@([karthik]{7}+\.[com]{3})$
