Extracting email addresses

Tim Peek

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
