Regular Expression validators

[NAT]

I want to use regular expression validators for checking if the url entered
is valid. I tried giving "https://([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]+(/[\w- ./?%&=]*)? " as
custom pattern in Data vaidation of Infopath. But this does not work.
Similarly I tried giving "https://([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]+(/[\w- ./?%&=]*)? " for
checking Valid email address but this also does not work. Any idea how to use
regular expression validators for checking valid url and valid Email address
in Infopath form ? It seems InfoPath provides patters only for
PhoneNumber,ZipCode n SocialSecurityNumber.For the rest we will have to
create custom patters. So any idea what custom pattern is required for
validating email address and validating url.

Thanks in advance,

search this newsgrop. I posted a similar question a few months ago.

The short answer, remove the leading and trailing ?
