Just to be sure: Do you mean extracting the "addr-spec" part as per https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5322#section-3.4 from a string? > I found a certain number of *libraries* for various programming > languages that offer such a functionality¹, but I would prefer an > executable from some run-of-the-mill Linux/UNIX package to be called by > shell command. Anything capable of handling regular expressions immediately comes to mind, like "sed" or "awk". Minimal Perl or Python snippets will also do, but that's overkill if I understand your requirements correctly. -Ralph _______________________________________________ dovecot mailing list -- dovecot@dovecot.org To unsubscribe send an email to dovecot-le...@dovecot.org
