Stripping email

[Jrc]

Firstly, sorry this post is probably not what you thought the title suggested.

I have a large text file of data and every now and again there is a bit which says

"EMAIL [email protected]"

Is there any software that can strip all the emails out or is it a case of it is best to write my own program?

Google a program called SED

Any text editor which allows you to use regular expressions

Search: Email \b[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b
Replace:

I love Regex but I can only do them with a reference book and in longhand

#!/bin/bash
grep EMAIL file > file2
for i in `cat file2`; do
ADDY="`echo $i | cut -d \" \" -f 2`"
echo $ADDY >> list
done

Something along those lines should work...
