I think I've worked something out, but am now having trouble with subpatterns.

(?i)\s*([^,;]*@fred\.com[^,]*)[,;$]?  picks up everything between the address delimiters which as far as I can see should be comma or semi-colons and does case-insensitive matching.

But when I try to pick up the address part (the subpattern between the brackets) %SUBPATT="1" gives me a blank string. Using a regex tester it works OK, so the problem is obviously in my understanding of The Bat's contorted macro syntax. Any ideas? My brain hurts.

It may take some trial and error, but I think regex might do it if you set a limit on how many characters might precede the @ and know what delimiter might separate email ids. Regex has a few operands for unknown characters, so I'd give it a try.  I've used regex on onccasion, but I'm no guru. Good luck. And the suggestion may be useless, but it would be my first approach. david

I want to extract an address (if it occurs) fr om a To: list. For example, if "XXX@fred.com" occurs, I want to extract it. I can use a regex to see if "@fred.com" is there, but than, how do I find the "XXX", given that I have no idea wh ere the address occurs in the list, and I can't see any looping macro to move down the list one address at a time.

Anyone here got any ideas or hints?
