php regex to match pattern

How could I extract the email part from all of the following strings cases:

"Robert Donhan" <[email protected]>
Robert Donhan <[email protected]>
"Robert Donhan" [email protected]
Robert Donhan [email protected]

Thanks

If you do not necessarily need a regular expression, you could use imap_rfc822_parse_adrlist or mailparse_rfc822_parse_addresses to get both the address and the name.

I think this should work:

/(^|\s)<?([a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9]+\.[a-zA-Z.]{2,6})>?(\n|\r|\s|$)/

Not completely correct but the following regex mostly works:

[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}

with case insensitive option

Actually, your regex can be simpler. Split(explode) on the string using whitepace, go through each item, and check of "@". Then remove all < and >.

Could you try with this regex: 

([\\w-+]+(?:\\.[\\w-+]+)*@(?:[\\w-]+\\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,7})

Anyway, I suggested this site: TXT2RE
