In BBEdit? Simple, process lines containing '@' (based on your data set)

Or, if you only want the *valid* e-mail addresses, you could use

^[a-z0-9\._-]+\@([a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]\.)+([a-z]+\.)?([a-z]+)$
This regex will fail on most of my email addresses because it doesn't
include a '+' in the username portion as a valid character.
[a-z0-9\._-+]+ is better, although of course it is perfectly legal to
have the user portion of an email address be a quoted string ("tom
jones"@mydomain.tld). In fact, many characters are valid in the user
name portion that are not included here, including # $ % & * ! { } "
= and others, albeit these characters are as rare as moon ponies in
the wild. Various RFCs for details.
