Just purchased the book RailsSpace (Rough Cut Version) and I am going
through the tutorial for the user model. It says to add the code below
for email validation to your user model, which I did.
It then tells you to create a username email and password in IRB to
test it which i did. But each time it says the email is not a valid
email even though i have tried 5 or 6 different emails etc.
Went through the code with a fine toothed comb, tried a couple other
regex’s i found on google, but to no avail.
Anyone take a look at this for me, and see if they spot anything
amiss?
Thanx,
Dave
