EMail Validations--Multiple Regexes

Rails
1

I am trying to use validates_format_of in my model file to validate an
email address. However, I need to enter two regexes for two special
cases.
Basically, only a few top-level domain names are allowed.

However, it seems according to the source code for validates it only
allows
one :format key and one set of options as the hash value. Is there a way
to
use multiple regexes. I have tried the logical operators but it seems to
accept only the first one. Also, using two validates method on the same
field leads to nothing getting accepted as one violates the other
condition.

So, I want to accept only certain top-level domain names, say google and
yahoo. How do I set up a validates method that does just that and
rejects
all other emails.

Thanks

Just extend the regex to include both cases. For example abc|def|xyz
matches abc, def or xyz.
