title: How to ignore special characters in named email format using regex in vbscript
body: <p>I a have a vbscript that checks a named email format if correct using regular expression. However, upon named email strings with special character, my regular expression does not match below named email:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"Davé Lory, Sr." &lt;jhonson@test.com&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm using the regular expression to check valid named email:</p>
  
  <pre><code>^\s*(([\"][\sa-zA-Z0-9_\-\.\'\,\&amp;]*[\"])|([\sa-zA-Z0-9_\-\.\'\,\&amp;]*))*\s*[\(&lt;]\s*([A-Za-z0-9_\x27]+((\.|-)['A-Za-z0-9_\x27]+)*\@[A-Za-z0-9]+((\.|-)[A-Za-z0-9]+)*\.[A-Za-z0-9]+)\s*[\)&gt;]\s*$
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it can't match if the named email contain special a character like é or È etc..</p>
  
  <p>How can I ignore this special characters in regular expression? </p>
  
  <p>Please help.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
