How can I extract email address from a list of names and email addresses?

Example input:

"a1 b.d"<a1@test.com>,
<a2@test.com>,
"a3 b.d"<a3@test.com> ,
a4@test.com ,

Output :

a1@test.com,
a2@test.com,
a3@test.com,
a4@test.com,

Try some sort of regex i.e : `string.replace(/"[^"]+"/g, '').replace(/(\<|\>)/g, '');` — adeneo, Aug 12 '12 at 12:16

This PHP function will extract an email address from a string and put it into a clickable link:

function extractEmail( $data )
{
    if ( preg_match( "/[^@\s]+@([-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,}/i", $data, $email ) )
    {
        $replacement = '<a href="mailto:' . $email[ 0 ] . '" target="_blank">' . $email[ 0 ] . '</a> ';
        $data        = preg_replace( "/[^@\s]+@([-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,}/i", $replacement, $data );
    }
    return $data;
}

To use it create PHP file and add there a test entry (but not forget to place the function above in it):

<?php
  echo extractEmail("Some text goes here before mail@mail.com and some text here goes after");
?>
