I'm parsing HTML pages and wanna grab all the email address. I'm using this matching-patter m/(\S*@\S*)/ which doing the job except that I just get one match. How do I get every one in the string.

I think what you want is Email::Find. It will search an arbitrary piece of text and find all email addresses. --eric	[reply]

use the /g modifier. `m/(\S@/s)/g` [download] note: for your purposes, that regular expression might work. just be aware that your test is by no means complete. jeff	[reply] [d/l]

Tip: Make sure you strip out the "NOSPAM" (and its common variants, and all other illegal characters) in the email address. - Infinityandbeyond, with a touch of sarcasm.	[reply]

How about changing m/(\S@\S)/ to s/(\S@\S)\s*// and then looping until you get undef? (Sorry work calls or I'd be more thorough). -Gryn	[reply]
