    Smile Extracting email address from text string

    Hello, I used this forum for the first time yesterday and the help was fantastic.

    How do I extract an email address from within a string of text where the email address can be identified by < at the beginning and > at the end?

    eg in cell A1 I have 'dkjfhjdhskjf <[email protected]> skdfhsjhd' and in b1 I want just [email protected]

    Thank you

    Try this formula

    =SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1&" ",FIND("@",A1))-1)," ",REPT(" ",255)),255)),"<",""),">","")
