2. Yeah, that's just a perl script wich takes in a file and checks every word to see if it's a valid email address. It prints it out if so. Here's a commented version:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
# that stuff is just to make it a perl script

# email::Valid is a module to check for valid email addresses
# you can get it from CPAN.org along with tons of other modules
# If you're using perl on windows, i bet activestate has a version.
# The author says that it may be slow on Win32 if you have addresses
# where there is no nameserver to check them against.
use email::Valid;

# this loops over each line in the input
while (<>) {
# this loops over each "word" in the line (it splits on whitespace)
for my $word ( split() ) {
# if it's a valid address..
if ( my $address = email::Valid->address( $word ) ) {
# print it out.
print $address, "\n";
}
}
}

Put it in a file and call the file "getemails.pl" or something, then send all of your files to it:
./getemails.pl < somefile.txt or cat * ¦ ./getemails.pl and wait for your list of emails to come out. I just tested it and it seems to do pretty well. -Andy

Usage

python emailsfromfile.py [separator] [encoding]

The separator and encoding parameters are optional. The separator is a new line and the file encoding is 8-bit ASCII by default. If you want to specify an encoding, you also have to set a separator; to use a new line (the default), specify newline as the separator.

Examples:

python emailsfromfile.py contacts.csv — returns all email addresses from contacts.csv, displaying one email address per line
python emailsfromfile.py contacts.csv , — returns a comma-separated list of all email addresses in contacts.csv
python emailsfromfile.py contacts.csv space — returns all email addresses from contacts.csv, separated by a space
python emailsfromfile.py contacts.csv ; > emails.txt — writes all of the email addresses from contacts.csv, separated by a semi-colon, to emails.txt
python emailsfromfile.py utf8-contacts.csv newline utf-8 — returns all email addresses, one per line, from the UTF-8 encoded file utf8-contacts.csv
