What exactly do you mean by "export" ?  .  Also, please let us know how you decide the word you want to export. Is it always the same word ? or is is always in the same position ?  Or does it follow a pattern ?  Can you post your current code ?

What i mean by export is locate a single word in a string and export that one word to a text file. word will always change but it will be an email address, so the exported word will be user@domain.com or users5@domain4.com… etc. the reset of the line can be deleted or dropped. I do not have a code and that the problem I just can not find one that will do this.
