extract email address from Notepad++ using regex

I am trying to extract email addresses from notepad++ using RegEx.

I tried like this

Find and Replace

Find: (\b[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}\b)
Replace : .\1

I am loosing email address instead of text. I need remove all text and keep only email addresses in the file. How to do that?

You need to match and capture the email with a (...) subpattern (so, you do that right), but you need to just match everything else (and that part is missing).

Use

Find what: (\b[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}\b)|.

Replace with: $1

Then, you might want to use Edit -> Blank Operations -> Remove Unnecessary Blank and EOL menu option.
