Find character ranges across multiple lines

[Kandice Feliciano]

My txt file has a lot of lines, each line can be any format.
How to find email addresses in the form of : abc@abschool.com , bca@school.yahoo.ca , or abc@newyork.sjshschool.email.ca … It could be another email address. I need the result that the emails have a domain that contains " school ". What am I going to do? Thanks

So if your text is like this:

My txt file has a lot of lines, each line can be any format.
How to find email addresses in the form of : abc@abschool.com , bca@school.yahoo.ca , or abc@newyork.sjshschool.email.ca … It could be another email address. I need the result that the emails have a domain that contains " school ". What am I going to do? Thanks

I would do this:

Do a Mark (Ctrl+m) operation like this:

Then press Copy Marked Text and paste into a new tab:

abc@abschool.com
bca@school.yahoo.ca
abc@newyork.sjshschool.email.ca

Do another Mark operation like this:

Then right-click in the margin below the blue ball to get this menu:

and choose Copy Bookmarked Lines.

Now you have in the clipboard all of your email addresses with “school” in them.

There are other ways; although I’m trying to “keep it simple”.

Thank you for your quick help. It is true that I have applied your way. But there are some lines that contain " school " that are also selected. While I just want to get email results that contain a domain that contains “school.” I’m sorry I’ve asked incomplete questions.

[Kandice Feliciano]

For example:
school@yahoo.com
abc@gmail.com , shools are there…
These 2 lines are also selected, although I do not want to.
That’s what I want to present.

It seems like you could change the original second Mark above to:

Exactly. That’s great. Thanks

Hello, @kandice-feliciano, @alan-kilborn and All,

I initially thought of a regex, a bit more strict, regarding the e-mail address definition :

SEARCH (?-i)\b\w([\w.]*)@[\w.]*school[\w.]*\.\w{2,}\b

---

However, the Alan’s regex is more elegant. And I think that we may combine the two Mark operations in one step, with the following syntax :

SEARCH / MARK (?-i)\S+@\S*school\S+

Test it, against this text :

abc@newyork.sjshschl.email.ca
abc@abschool.com
abc@abschol.com
bca@school.yahoo.ca
school@yahoo.com
abc@newyork.sjshschool.email.ca
bca@schoool.yahoo.ca 
abc@gmail.com, shools are there…

abc@newyork.sjshschl.email.ca, abc@abschool.com, abc@abschol.com, bca@school.yahoo.ca, school@yahoo.com, abc@newyork.sjshschool.email.ca, bca@schoool.yahoo.ca,  abc@gmail.com, shools are there…

Best Regards,

Thank you both. Thanks to the above 2 syntax I can rely on it to find any email address with a domain that I need. Since I very often use it to find emails on drive D or E. Previously this work took me quite a lot of time and trouble. Once again thank you 2
