Subject: regex blindness

I was blind yesterday .. could not find what's wrong in this regex (and 
posted that to mac os forum)

/^(?k: ( ?k:0[1-9]|[1-8][0-9]|9[0-8] )  (?k: [0-9]{3} )  )$/

trying to check zipcodes (french cities :  like 78231)

got an undefined (?...) sequence: 
/^(?k:(?k:0[1-9]|[1-8][0-9]|9[0-8])(?k:[0-9]{3}))$/

I am also checking email addresses with :
/^([a-zA-Z0-9_\.\-])+\@(([a-zA-Z0-9\.\-])+\.)+([a-zA-Z0-9]{2,4})+$/

is there a better regexp for that ...

thanks
joss
