How to get simply email address after MimeUtility.decodeText()?

Question

How can I simply get the email address after use MimeUtility.decodeText() from javax.mail.internet ?

After that operation I have following String: Foo Bar <foo.bar@abc.en>

I can do that by methods from String class but I'm interested in existed predefinied method for this ?

Answer 1

Just call new InternetAddress(addr).getAddress(). In fact, you don't even need to call MimeUtility.decodeText() first.

Answer 2

It's very easy to define your method. To get the String you only need one line of code:

String email = stringToDecode.split("<")[1].substring(0, stringToDecode.split("<")[1].length() - 1);
