Mike, if you are not overly fond of regular expression and/or want more control over the output I am happy to share a program I wrote in my early python days. It goes through a(several) textfile(s) and scans for anything that looks like an email address.
The first level of reporting shows the result in 4 tables for [unique, duplicate, excluded, fragment] addresses each - unique: most relevant / search not case sensitive, but report preserves case (-: - duplicates: most the time those are of no interest - excluded: e.g. things like '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' from YOUR original mailheader ( this still needs a bit of work) - fragment: anything broken with an @-sign You can list and/or sort-by user, domain, original textline, line-number in original file, ... The second level of reporting shows a diff of two data sets for the 4 different tables above (though only 'unique' makes sense -this needs some work too) The third level of reporting decorates the output to what you want, e.g. to quoted, comma separated values. That's what I use it for once a week to extract a few hundred 'User | Host unknown' from our maillog and feed those into SQL: "delete from ... where EMail in ( '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', ...);" Maybe that's overkill for what you need; and as I said it's from my early python days (so I won't embarrass myself in public) -but lemme know if interested (python 2.x required) ..................
