I am currently using an email extractor which is working well, but I would like to change its pattern which is:
[^a-zA-Z0-9-](?<num>[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{2,20}@[A-Za-z0-9_-]{3,20}\.[\.a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)[^a-zA-Z0-9_-]
The problem with this pattern is that it excludes all the charaters before a dot.
For example, if it finds an email like "[email protected]", it will report "[email protected]"
I don't know what I should write in the pattern so it does not exclude the characters before the dot anymore.
If someone has an idea, please let me know... many thanks!!

Your regex doesn't seem right, try this regex:
\b(?<num>[a-zA-Z0-9][\w.-]{2,20}@[\w-]{3,20}\.[.\w-]+)\b
