Extract email from filename using regex

I have filenames in this format: SCANNERID_00001SCAN_28-11-2013_email_X_gmail.com_LEFT.zip

another example

SCANNERID_99999SCAN_33-03-2015_mymail_X_hotmail.com_RIGHT.zip

the @ sign has been replaced with an _X_. The side (at the end of the filename, in this case LEFT) is variable; either LEFT or RIGHT.

the date is obviously variable and is not necessarily the current date.

I want to extract [email protected] or [email protected] using regexp in PHP.

preg_replace("/SCANNERID_.+_\d{1,2}-\d{1,2}-\d{1,4}_(.+)_X_(.+)_(LEFT|RIGHT).zip/", "$1@$2", $input_lines);
