Others have provided specific re's to extract the SMTP address, here is a more generic solution which will grab all the fields into a structure-
while (<DATA>){
chomp;
my %rec=();
while ( /
([^:]*) # any amount of non ":"'s -better as ([A-Z0-9]*)?
: # followed by a colon
([^%]*) # any amount of non "%"'s
%{0,1} # followed by 0 or 1 % characters
/xg ){
$rec{$1}=$2;
}
print $rec{SMTP}, "\n"; # for example
}
__DATA__
SMTP:makeusbetter@domain.com%X400:c=US;a= ;p=domain ;o=domain;s=makeus
+better;%CCMAIL:makeusbetter at domain%
CCMAIL:Hunter, Sandy at domain%MS:domainin/domain/sandy%SMTP:sandyh@do
+main.com%X400:c=US;a= ;p=domain
The second line of your sample data did not end with an % which I suspect it normally would so I made the % char optional, I think for your actual data you could change the re to /([^:]*):([^%]*)%/g
