Email EP not working

Patchworks · Post by **Patchworks** » Sat Dec 18, 2004 5:04 pm

I'm trying an email pattern that I found here on the formus but it is getting an error, "a is not a valid keyword".

This is what I'm using. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

(?:\b([_a-z0-9-]+(?:\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*)@([_a-z0-9-]+(?:\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*?)\.(?:[a-z]{2,4}?)\b)

Set the pattern type to perl pattern.

Not sure what is happening now but I changed from EasyPattern to Perl Pattern and it seems to compile correctly, but when I replace with the 0$ (which I assume it needs to be), it outputs a bunch of other stuff with it. Almost the entire Input file.

Am I outputting the wrong matched sub-expression?

$0 is the entire matched expression.

Set the perl pattern options to minimal match (use the [...] button).

Set the Minimal option and still same results.

Can you please send me your filter plus a test file or text in the trial run area?

Turn on the 'Extract' option of the search/replace filter.
