Hey people,

I am confused by that example that was written for e-mail validation.

Check it:

Regex regex = new Regex(@".*@.{2,}\..{2,}");

What is that {2,}?

problem solved....2 denotes there minimum match

for example
Regex regex = new Regex(@".*@.{10,}\..{2,}");
unforgiven@metallica.com metallica there is 9 character.its not gonna match.

but it will be matched when Regex regex = new Regex(@".*@.{9,}\..{2,}") is defined like that.
