Searching "@" sign on input

[telco]

Hello, i know this is sounds simple but to me not really..
i wonder how can i search if the @ is present on the current string..

ex: on input the user type [email protected]
how to return true or false? thanks..

[telco]

here is my code:
result = Input.GetText("Input1");
result = String.Find(result, "@", 1, false);

if result == true then

Label.SetText("Label1", "valid email");


else
Label.SetText("Label1", "invalid email");
end


it always result invalid email

String.Find returns position of substring being searched for - not boolean result.
So, change your 'if statement' accordingly. A return of '-1' indicates substring not found or error.

Eg.

strImput = Input.GetText("Input1");
strFind = String.Find(strImput, "@", 1, false);

if strFind ~= -1 then
 Label.SetText("Label1", "valid email");
else
 Label.SetText("Label1", "invalid email");
end

here is the simple pattern to match valid email adress

local strImput = Input.GetText("Input1");
if (strImput:match("[A-Za-z0-9%.%%%+%-][email protected][A-Za-z0-9%.%%%+%-]+%.%w%w%w?%w?")) then
    Label.SetText("Label1", "valid email");
else
    Label.SetText("Label1", "invalid email");
end

Yes, regex / pattern-matching is much better option for this!
Thanks,shabanov88 - that one's going into my code library.

And just to beat a dead horse, here's a simplified version:

local strImput = Input.GetText("Input1");
if (strImput:match("^[%w.][email protected]%w+%.%w+$")) then
    Label.SetText("Label1", "valid email");
else
    Label.SetText("Label1", "invalid email");
end
