Provides the user with a means of validating an email address. Using the like keyword, checks the email address with a specific pattern and will pick up on invalid chars for example, john.doe@.test.com will return false as would john.doe@com.
strEmail - Email address that needs to be checked
The like statement allows pattern matching against the email address.
Like "@[a-z,0-9].*"
This would allow anything before the @ sign, and the first letter after the @ sign must be either a number of letter and somewhere after that there must be at least one full stop
Boolean value indicating if email address is valid
