so i have used the following code and have successfully saved a list of senders as a string. however, the string has much more information than just the email address and i am wondering what is the best way to parse the email address out of the entire string. sample string: >>> print status, senders OK [('460 (BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (FROM)] {46}', 'From: Friend <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\r\n\r\n'), ')', ('462 (BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (FROM)] {37}', 'From: Kun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\r\n\r\n'), ')'] how do i just get the two email addresses out of there? my code is: from imaplib import * import getpass m = IMAP4("xxxxxxxx") m.login('xxxxxx', 'xxxxxxx') m.select('Inbox') status, data = m.search(None,'(SUBJECT "BIKES")') assert status=='OK', "Error. Message: %s"%data data = data[0] #you get your results in a list and search returns only one result assert data,"No results" #cool, we have results, but IMAP's search command only returns IDs so we have to fetch #msgs now status,senders = m.fetch(data.replace(' ',','),'(BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (FROM)])') assert status=='OK', "Error. Message: %s"%data print senders -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
