[REBOL] Extract email address from line

From: shuntera::gmail::com at: 6-Apr-2005 12:54

I have a log file form one of my servers that contains a bunch of text, but each line pertains to a user and somewhere in the line there will be his/her email address. The lines looks something like this: blah blah blah blah [user1--company--com] blah blah blah blah blah [user2--company--com] blah blah blah blah blah blah blah [user3--company] blah blah Because there is no fixed rule about where the email address appears in the line I can't use the parse tools I normally use in a log when everything is in fixed position. The unique thing about the email address is that it is the only thing that will have an ['--'] in the middle of it. I want to send an email to these users to tell them when the system is going to be down, how can I extract the email address from each line? Regards. Stuart
