You might try getting the last THREE characters, and check to see if the first of those is a dot. The reason for this is because all non-US addresses will have a dot in that position, but most US addresses do not -- so that's how you can tell most US from non-US addresses.But remember, some US addresses, the ones based on geographic location, also fall into the category of having the first of those last three characters a dot -- so you'll still need to include US in your two-letter country code database, along with all the other countries, if US addresses will be an issue here ... :)Sincerely, Ken Grome 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions mailto:ken@webdna.net http://www.webdna.net Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
