Parse Email address from middle of a string

Hi all,

I'm trying to parse an e-mail address from the middle of string using reg expresson.

I have a couple of ideas on how I can do this. But I would like to use just a reg exp pattern.

Find the right pattern is my hurdle.

I've attemped to use the following however it'sreturning the address along with the string of characters that are in front of it.

^([a-z0-9_\.\-\,\.<\>\])(EMTag>)([a-z0-9_\.\-]+@(([a-z0-9\-]+\.)+)([a-z]+))(<EMTag)([a-z0-9_\.\-\,\.<\>]+)$

Any ideas on a pattern I can use?

Thanks,

BDB

Domski,

Thanks for the link.

However, my issue in not coming up with the syntex or pattern for the email itself.
The issue is if I have a sting like this: MyHomeState>TX<,EM>[email protected]<EM
Then obviously a pattern for email will not work or it will include parts before the actual email. I want pattern which will recognize what's before the email segment, the email, and the part after the email.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

BDB
