My E-Mail Validation Script

The aim of this challenge is to write a computer program that asks the end-user to type their e-mail address. The program should decide whether the e-mail being entered is a valid one or not.

Some of the validation checks that your program should complete are as follows:

• The email should contain one and only one “@” sign
• The email should contain at least one “.” sign located after the “@” sign. However it may contains more than one “.” sign for emails ending in .co.uk for instance
• The email cannot contain any space or “#” signs
• The “@” sign cannot be in the first position and there should be at least 1 character between the “@” and the “.” sign.
• The email cannot end with a “.” sign

Can you think of any other rules to make your validation script even more robust?
