: Is there a way to return just the string that a REFind matches?
: I'm trying

: using this:
:
: REFindNoCase("['_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+
: )*\.(([a-z
: ]{2,3})|(aero|coop|info|museum|name))",BlockOfText)
:
: But I don't see how to match the end. It seems like I need to return the
: "\1" back reference, but how?
