I know how to validate an email address using regex expressions. Is there a way to make the user input twice on a form so that we can make sure each time they enter, it is without errors and therefore a useable email address.
Do you just want to repeat the entry of the email address?
To make sure there is no typo?
Yes, of course you can do that.
Validate the second input that it is the same as the first.
Or did I misunderstand?

Yes, you got it exactly right! I didn't know I could do that. Thanks. I'll dig around in the interface and see if I can figure it out. Perhaps you can point me in the right direction? Thank you so much for your quick response and wishing you a great day!
Lets assume you have two text input questions, one is called Email1 the other Email2.
So you check in the first one via RegEx if it has the valid format for an email address (you can't check if the email is really valid, only if the structure is correct), and then for the second one you check in the question validation equation , if the answer in Email2 is the same as in Email1. Then in the question validation tip you'll can give a written warning.

Thank you Holch, looks like that would indeed be the proper solution. I will experiment. Thank you so much for the useful assistance. Have a great day!
