In perl, the token delimeter doesn't matter - the regex I sent earlier would
be basically the same, just swap the {}'s with your delimeter...

Just realized that instead of using { and }, I should some other character
to demarcate my tokens, let's say @, so the sample text should be:

this is some @[EMAIL PROTECTED] this is more @[EMAIL PROTECTED] and yet some 
more @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
blahdeblah.

Or rather than Perl, any common Unix tool that uses RE, like sed, awk, etc.
