Parse Email address from middle of a string

Hi all,

I'm trying to parse an e-mail address from the middle of string using reg expresson.

I have a couple of ideas on how I can do this. But I would like to use just a reg exp pattern.

Find the right pattern is my hurdle.

I've attemped to use the following however it'sreturning the address along with the string of characters that are in front of it.

^([a-z0-9_\.\-\,\.<\>\])(EMTag>)([a-z0-9_\.\-]+@(([a-z0-9\-]+\.)+)([a-z]+))(<EMTag)([a-z0-9_\.\-\,\.<\>]+)$

Any ideas on a pattern I can use?

Thanks,

BDB
