Extract names and email addresses form a text
I am trying to extract names and email addresses from a list of emails in this format:
...
Sent: 19 July 2019 14:25
To: John Dough <[email protected]>
...
This extracts email addresses perfectly:
/[a-z0-9_\-\+\.]+@[a-z0-9\-]+\.([a-z]{2,4})(?:\.[a-z]{2})?/i
How can I also get the string between To: and < example: John Dough ?

Yo might use 2 capturing groups (assuming the name part can not contain characters < and > If those chars can occur, you could use a non greedy quantifier (.*?) instead of ([^<>]+)
\bTo: ([^<>\r\n]+) <([a-z0-9_+.-]+@[a-z0-9-]+\.[a-z]{2,4}(?:\.[a-z]{2})?)>
About ([^<>\r\n]+)
(Capture group[^<>\r\n]+Negated character class, match 1+ times any char except<>or a newline
)Close group
Or make the match a bit broader matching a non whitespace char except an @
\bTo: ([^<>\r\n]+) <([^\s@]+@[^\s@]+)>
