window control pattern
check pattern in text WBAT email {[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}}

- The pattern argument can accept regular expressions. Note that argument values that include regular expressions must be entirely enclosed in curly braces {}. As an example,
{[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}}specifies the pattern for an acceptable email address. More simply,.*represents the general wildcard for regular expressions, so that{.*arch.*}matchesstarch,marching,testarchitect, etc. - This action supports the <ignore> modifier. If the string
<ignore>is present as the value of any of the arguments, or any argument contains an expression that evaluates to<ignore>, the action is skipped during execution.
