the following will loop through and extract any email in a block of text and
store each one in an array: (watch for wrap)
<cfscript>
regex = "^[a-z0-9][-\._a-z0-9]*@([a-z0-9][-a-z0-9]*\.)+[a-z]{2,6}$";
emails = arraynew(1);
apos = refindnocase(regex, myText, 1, true);
while (apos.len[1]) {
arrayappend(emails, mid(myText, apos.pos[1],apos.len[1]));
apos = refindnocase(regex, myText, apos.pos[1]+1, true);
}
</cfscript>
be careful, I use this code for parsing out html links, not emails, so I've
just subbed in the regex for valid emails that I use elsewhere. Please test
to your satisfaction. I haven't tested it, but its along the right lines.
You may need to alter it to properly fit the circumstances.
