How do I extract email address from a string?

[cckiat9999]

Hi, what is the best way to search and extract an email address from a string? Thanks!

Sample String:

I am Peter Watts from ABC Co. Ltd. and my email address is pw@abc.com while my phone number is 123-345-567.

Hi @cckiat9999, 
I am sure there is a better way to do it but if your text will have only one email address, then you can use this: 

Last(Split(First(Split("Your Text", "@")).Result, " ")).Result & "@" & First(Split(Last(Split("Your Text", "@")).Result, " ")).Result

Let me know if this helps. I will try to come up with a better/cleaner approach.

Thanks, Hardit. This works well. I was thinking if 'Match' function is able to do something similar, since 'Match' and its enum Match.Email is able to tell if there is an email address within the string. Cracked my head for hours and decided to use your way 🙂 Thank you!
