Searching for an email address within a text field

George_Fischetti

Hi Folks - I'm searching for an email address that is embedded within a free form text field.   I have created a Regex expression but I'm only getting the first part of the address, everything after the the @ symbol doesn't appear.

 

Example:

This is some sample text that has my email gfisch13@msn.com and I'm only getting the gfisch13 part.

 

This is my expression:  (\<\w+\>)@.*

 

I'm new to RegEx and know I'm missing something, I just don't know what.

 

Appreciate any help!

@atcodedog05 I was way off, wow.   While this seems to work I am getting regular text for records where no email address exists.  Is there a way to eliminate that, If no email is present I'd rather see a blank field.
