When I send mail to a certain address, the mail gets piped to my perl
script.
I'm then using Mail::Internet to extract info, including the From
header.
For me, the header looks like this
Pete Emerson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
1. I assume that they're all going to look different. Is that correct?
2. Is an email always going to be enclosed by <>? (If the answer is yes,
I'm home free.)
3. If not, is there a tool to help me extract the email address?
4. If I'm stuck trying to parse it out myself, is this a good way to do
it?
Assuming the chomped From header is stored in $email .....
$email=~s/^.*?([-\w\.]+@[-\w\.]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}).*?$/$1/;
This works on my email address in the format given above.
Thanks.
Pete
