Hi Everyone,

I have a large database of email addresses in a text file but many of the entries have the full name of the person. I'm trying to find a command in TextPad to do the following:

--------------------------------------
FROM THIS:
John Smith <name1@email.com>
Jane Smith <name2@email.com>

TO THIS:
name1@email.com
name2@email.com
--------------------------------------

I appreciate the help anyone can provide. Thanks!

Use "Posix" regular expression syntax:

Configure | Preferences | Editor

[X] Use POSIX regular expression syntax

Search | Replace... (<F8>):

Find what: ^[^<]*<([^>]+)>.*
Replace with: \1

[X] Regular expression

Replace All

Perfect! Thanks so much for your help
