Also, older HTML allowed you to not quote the information after the equal sign in some circumstances.

Newer HTML too; it is only XHTML that makes quoting attribute values mandatory in all circumstances.

Since email addresses will include an @ character, the attributes are mandatory in this case.

That said, it isn't as if nobody ever breaks the rules, so it is generally a good idea to write code that can cope (unless you know that the incoming data won't have that problem).

showTollfree(1010)
// -->
'/script'
Fax:  (301)931-1285 
'br''a
href='mailto:KHargrove@servpro1010.com'>KHargrove@servpro1010.com'/a'

'/td'

I'm sorry to have to be wet nursed through this...but I have learned a ton of stuff over the last few weeks...I feel like my brain is going to explode!

Well, first install these two modules (and their unresolved dependencies if there are any):

• Regexp::Common
• Regexp::Common::Email::Address

Then you can do something like this (Quickshot, untested):

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Regexp::Common qw(Email::Address);
use Email::Address;

my $filename = 'file_to_parse.dat';

open my $rh, '<', $filename or die "$filename: $!";

# Requirement: href=, mailto: and the mailaddress must be in the same 
+line!

my @addresses = 
  map { m/mailto:($RE{Email}{Address})/o; $1 } 
  grep { m/href=.+?mailto:/ } 
  <$rh>
;

close $rh;

{
  local $, = local $\ = "\n";
  print @addresses;
}

Thanks, works great!
