RegEx: Extracting Email via Text Formatter > Extract Pattern

[clsops]

Hello Pabbly Staff,

Problem: I am unable to extract email via RegEx
Goal: Extract email and forward the email body to said email

1. Tawk chat transcript is received through Email Parser.
2. I would like to extract the email
3. Forward the transcript to the email extracted from step 2

I tried the two expressions below at RegExr: https://regexr.com/ - however, neither match.

^([\sa-z\d\.-]+)@([a-z\d-]+)\.([a-z]{2,8}\s)(\.[a-z]{2,8}\s)?$

^([a-z\d\.-]+)@([a-z\d-]+)\.([a-z]{2,8})(\.[a-z]{2,8})?$

As a temporary solution, I tried to use Body Html > Text Parser :
After:

<a href="mailto:

Before:

">

This can extract the first email, but not any other emails contained in the text.

@clsops Try this expression:

\b[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,}\b

 

[clsops]

\b[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,}\b

Hi Praveen, it didn't work for me. Can you try testing with this text body to see if it works for you:

Try this - ([a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+)

Try this - ([a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+)

Or here is another one -

[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?

Hey @clsops

To extract email addresses from the text you can use " Text Formatter by Pabbly: Text (Basic Formatting) ".

OMG! Thank you, Supreme! This is so much simpler!

Thank you for your help as well Fagun, appreciate your input!

[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])

^ This one is perfect, it can extract full email and all of them!

Try this - ([a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+)

^ PS This one does not work properly, for example, "[email protected]" > "[email protected]"

Yes, the expression I posted worked for me. But remember there are many flavors of regex and you might need to modify it slightly depending on where you are using it. But for this particular case, the solution posted by @Supreme is supreme.
