Isn't that true for each and every one... ;-)

Well, you just don't get it: extracting information like that is regarded
as a very basic trivial programming problem. If a programmer is not able
to formulate a trivial problem like that in programming or meta-programming
statements, then that programmer is not worth being named a programmer.
But on the contrary:
Most normal intelligent persons without any programming skills are able
to put together a workable program if they only have a manual, because
humans are creative beings. But then manage to make a program that works
for a task doesn't mean that these guy can do programming! These fellows
will usually construct programs that a experience programmer would, to
put it nicely, call "unusual constructions". Probably these program will
suffer from bad degrees of coupling and cohesion (aka: spaghetti programs
in popular terms).

Good!

D.S. Your description above about the file with e-mail address is still
not sufficient enough for a programmer to understand how (s)he should
employ an algorithm to extract e-mail addresses from it. You suffer
from the "general-customer-ignorance-problem", where the customer
believes that programmers are mind reader and can extract all the
details from a transcendental spiritual plane... Well, let me tell
you this: programming haven't reached that state - yet. :) D.S.
