I want to strip email from the text. Some of my users may send me a
string:

str = "This is email 1: me [at] me.com and here is email 2: <a
href="mailto:me [at] me.com">me [at] me.com</a>"

How do I parse the string to get email address only?
I know I may use instr() to determine if email address exists, but
please, give me a hint on how to handle it next.

Thanks.

I do not believe you, a "" delimited string containing single " s?

What do you mean bij "send me a string"?

What string? [see above]

Use regex.
