Filter emails?

[blommas]

Hey, just got my hands on 100k emails from facebook users, but in the list there are different information that only the email.
How can I filter it, so I ONLY have the emails?

Notepad++ replace option can do the trick.

Do you just need the email address and not anything else? A bit of php can do it for you.

Save the following code as a php file and run it directly. your file's name should be file.txt and it should be at the same folder where your php file is, if you don't make any changes to the script.

set_time_limit(0) prevents script timeout. So it should work for a very large file too. Just wait patiently till the script does it's job.

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);
set_time_limit(0);

$content = file_get_contents('file.txt');
$pattern = "/[a-z0-9_\-\+]+@[a-z0-9\-]+\.([a-z]{2,3})(?:\.[a-z]{2})?/i";
preg_match_all($pattern,$content,$emails);
$emails = @implode(',',$emails[0]);
header('Content-type: text/csv');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="emails_export_'.strtotime("now").'.csv"');
echo $emails;

Trying them now. They need to review the list, but there are "passwords" for accounts, so they might decline the list.

My goodness, don't you have a server or something?
You can do it on your local machine too. Download Wamp server and set it up and then follow this tutorial:

Not impossible really. If you do a regex search in NPP with:
[a-z0-9_\-\+]+@[a-z0-9\-]+\.([a-z]{2,3})(?:\.[a-z]{2})?
You will get those emails matched. The only challenge is to export them properly
