The above regex doesnt works it gives the following error:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Root cause:
Couldn't parse DCT bytes into DOM [datacapture.dct_parse.error.msg ]:The value of attribute "validation-regex" associated with an element type "textarea" must not contain the '<' character.

Using standard regex Syntax (I left XML Syntax adjustment to you)

# This would allow neither empty String ('') nor String with White Spaces only
/^[^<>@]*?[^<>@\s][^<>@]*$/

# This would allow empty String but not the String with White Spaces only
/(^|^[^<>@]*?[^<>@\s][^<>@]*)$/

Note that for the complex validation you might be better off using FormAPI and it's Events.

Hi Abhi,

Use this online regex validator to try your regular expressions

try to use "/s" for < > in your regex

What are you talking about?
/s is a modifier at the end of a regex that means that it should treat the entire contents as a single line.
\s (which perhaps you meant) - is for white-space - and will not match angle-brackets.
\b might be more appropriate, though frankly other solutions have already been posted.
