Extracting an email address out of a text file

>>According to the REWizard my regular expression works
You mean RE1 works? Now what's about RE2?
>> Is there any way to not use the RE2 option?
No, because without RE2, the tag does not know where the zone it has to extract
stops.
You have to make sure that you have both RE1 and RE2 that recognize something in
you file.
When this is done, REExtract will retun what's between the two occurrences.

Thanks Claude. According to the REWizard my regular expression works but
in the REExtract tag it doesn't. Is there any way to not use the RE2
option?
Thanks,
Ben
>> I bought the tag
Congratulations: you're on the right track ! ;-)

I
was trying:
Sure, try the REWizard, same author, same address, and this one is on
line and free.
Make sure you work with the CF syntax, not the Javascript.

Thanks Claude, I bought the tag and it seems to work ok. I'm wondering
if someone can help me with a reg ex. Just playing around with the tag I
was trying:
<CF_REextract
INPUTMODE="File"
INPUT="c:\cfusionmx\wwwroot\email_blast\#name#"
OUTPUTMODE="output"
RE1="([[:alnum:]_\.\-]+@([[:alnum:]_\.\-]))"
RE2="\.+[[:alpha:]]{2,4}"
>
Which I thought would extract email addresses but it doesn't seem to be
working. Since I suck at them I'm sure I'm doing something wrong with
it. Can anyone modify this reg ex a little for me?
Thanks,
Ben
>> I really don't want

For this I would try to use CF_REextract to extract the address in its
context.
The address is variable, but the context is not.

There's also a tag on the DevEx, "StripEmail" - you pass it a string and
it'll pull out email addresses and return them as a list. Works great for me.

That is indeed the way to go. In some cases it is easy, for
instance if you want to get all AOL bounces you can do a simple
regex replace on your email:
REReplaceNoCase(email,"^.*----- The following addresses had
permanent fatal errors -----(.+)----- Transcript of session
follows -----.*$","\1")
Simple patterns like these should find you most of the addresses,
just look for 5xx (permanent) error codes next to an email
address. But it is a case of diminishing returns and at some
point it is easier to do the rest by hand.

I can vouch for cf_reextract. I use it as a spider for a web cvs I wrote
and it works wonderfully.

I have about 1800 text files that I exported from outlook that are all
bounced emails. I need to extract the email addresses that were bounced
back. Unfortunately not all mail servers bounce messages that look
alike. I was thinking I could just read through each text file and find
where the email address is but in a lot of the files there will be the
email address of the person who the email was originally from, the email
address of the server that bounced the email and the email address who
it was originally sent to.
The only time these files are consistent is when they were bounced by
the same mail server software. I was thinking maybe I will loop through
the ones that are in the same format, i.e. the email address that was
bad looks like (someemail@somedomain.com) and strip out everything but
the email address.
That's the only method I can come up with at the moment, has anyone done
something similar or maybe have a better solution? I really don't want
to manually go through each text file and copy and paste the email
address.
Thanks,
Ben
