pull just email address from list

Question

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to write a script that pulls only email addresses from a list and places them into a new list. My list looks like this: firstname lastname <[e-mail]>, firstname lastname <[e-mail]>, etc.
I can't think of how to append starting after a certain character "<" and stop once a certain character is reached ">". and then continue this until the end of the list is reached.

Appreciate any help
Thanks,
David

Answer 1

You can use regex
import re
a=["firstname lastname <[e-mail]>", "firstname lastname <[e-mail]>"]

for i in a:
print(re.findall("<(.*)>",i))
.* returns one or more occurrences of characters between < and > and brackets around it returns only that particular text instead of returning < and > as well
