( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I've got some mailing lists in this format:

EMAIL user@somedomain.com

*OR*

EMAIL user@somedomain.com <mailto:user@somedomain.com>

What I am working on is a bit of code to pull a clean email address out of either format and store it in a scalar (or perhaps two scalars.... one for the username and one for the domain). (The formats are mixed up within the mailing list file.)

Is there a simple regexp to do this?

Can someone help me? :)

(I can handle the code for looping through each line of the file. But I am stumped as to the precise regexp I need to use to extract the email address and whether or not I need to use split() or simply s/// or perhaps m// to do the trick.)

Perhaps there is more than one way to do it. :)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
