Get a list of email addresses from .doc document

Hi.

As you may understand from the subject, I am new to scripting… I read some tutorials on this site, and tried to write a couple of scripts (that actually worked!) but it took lots of attempts and I still don’t actually get the logic behind it…

Anyway, I have a huge document with email addresses scattered around, and I need to “extract” them in order to send a single email to all of them…
I used the Search function of this site, but what I found was either not useful for me or too complicated for me even to understand if I could use it…

Edit: I found that the application Mail in OSX has a command called “extract address from…” but it only works if the address is written as myaddress@xyz.com

I also tried to make AppleScript create a list of all the words containing the character “@” but I think it sees the @ as a space, or a special character, because it doesn’t find it…

Thanks for your help, and your patience :slight_smile:
