Is there a 'does not contain' comparison?

This WebDNA talk-list message is from

1999


It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 23879
interpreted = N
texte = I see the varios comparisons, and realize there is a 'contains' comparison, but that doesn't appear to work I would like it to in this case.In my email field, I like to test for more than just not empty. What I usually do is to make sure there is both an @ and a period. After all, all internet email addresses must have both.So doing an: [Hideif [email]=@.][math]err=1[/math] You must enter a valid Email Address.
[/hideif]I believe WebCat is looking for the combination of @. together. Is there a wildcard charactor I haven't yet found? Of will I have to do a nested [hideif] to test for each charactor?It would be really cool to allow a wildcard charactor (if this doesn't already exist).Thanks!
