If you forget about the brackets and go until you encounter a space, and the
brackets are there, you will be an incorrect email.

You would have <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> instead of
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Good idea, Andy, but if you don't count for the brackets, your results will
probably be wrong.  The best way might be to proceed in both directions
until you encounter a space OR a bracket, and stop at either one.

I'd actually forget the brackets (just in case). Work backwards from the
knowledge that no email address can have a space in it, and ALL emails MUST
have an @ symbol. Then return anything on either side of the @ symbol until
you encounter a space.

I'll see if I can come up with something for you.

Subject: Suggestions wanted


I'm looking for some suggestions on the best way to get email addresses
from a string that looks like this:

"Rick Root" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

or

"Rick Root" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,"Root, Rick"
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Ultimately, the latter should return an array or email addresses.

To the best of my knowledge, all email addresses will be contained in <>'s.

Rick
