email addresses? <<
This is a programming issue that can be attacked in a number of
different ways... your mention of grep indicates some tech skills
The first thing that comes to my mind is to use a text editor with a
good macro utility...
...for example using http://textpad.com , I would;
open the sent file
then build a macro that;
search for "@"
search for ")"
begin marking (<shift>)
search backwards for "("
copy
switch window (to a collection file)
paste
type carriage return
switch back
(note, other characters than "(" might be better markers)
repeat to end of file...
Then sort the lines alphabetically and you would be in a good position
to delete large blocks such as her address and lines that didn't begin
with "(" etc, etc...
Then either de-dupe or manually cut duplicate lines.
...above is theory, untested, but have done many similar jobs using
textpad macros.
