Re: Regular expression

I suggest not using a regex. There are better tools for parsing an email, for example "formail". $email = formail -x Return-Path; See google.com for more information Regards, Aidan "Syed Ghouse" <syed@jinis.com> wrote in message news:00d701c45e83$9a662a50$495aa8c0@jinis.com...
