      I have several PDFs that contain email addresses with the @ symbol of course.

      I have copied the text into NP++…What is the best method for extracting those emails from NotePad++? I can highlight and bookmark lines but cant figure out how to extract ONLY the email addresses.

        Sure it is a pdf file? pdf files are not supposed to be edited by notepad++.
        Anyway, if you have the file open and already stripped down to lines with email addresses only
        use find dialog and regular expression checked
        Find what:

         .*?(\w+@\w+\.\w+).*
        

        Replace with:

        \1
        

        Cheers
