Fellow Monasterians,

I'm trying to isolate some code in BBEdit using the grep functionality offered (Perl friendly). Here are 6 lines of text containing 2 email addresses (this is just an example, and could be looking for anything, actually):

f834bkg94halUF9deju hHFDUO()NFRS432 DSFadsfg94hHFDUO()N
hfedls74d8oHFx constant=barney@gmail.com alUF9dejuH()NF
UO()NFRS432 DSFadsf4halUF9deju fedls74d8oH sfg94hHFDUOf
f834bkg94halUF9deju hHFDUO()NFRS432 DSFadsfg94hHFDUO()N
hfedls74d8oHFx constant=wilma@aol.com alUF9dejuH()NFui0
UO()NFRS432 DSFadsf4halUF9deju fedls74d8oH sfg94hHFDUOf

[download]

and I want to end up with:

barney@gmail.com
wilma@aol.com

[download]

so far I have:

(?-m).+constant=(\w+@\w+\.com)(?-m).+

[download]

but keep ending up with:

f834bkg94halUF9deju hHFDUO()NFRS432 DSFadsfg94hHFDUO()N
barney@gmail.com
UO()NFRS432 DSFadsf4halUF9deju fedls74d8oH sfg94hHFDUOf
f834bkg94halUF9deju hHFDUO()NFRS432 DSFadsfg94hHFDUO()N
wilma@aol.com
UO()NFRS432 DSFadsf4halUF9deju fedls74d8oH sfg94hHFDUOf

Obviously, I need to use multiple lines, but not sure how to do it in grep vs a Perl regexp.
