Extract Email Addresses
This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels
Summary
The tool scans text and takes email addresses that match the common name pattern. Extraction is useful for filtering a contact list from a document or log, but a simple pattern cannot validate the entire email rule. The results may contain duplicate or fake addresses that need to be checked. Always respect your privacy and do not send emails without the permission of the owner.
Key points
- The basic email pattern is [email protected] with no spaces
- Simple regex is suitable for many cases, not perfect validation
- Global flags are needed to find all addresses
- Use a unique set or process to remove duplicates
- Do not disseminate an email address without consent
