Hi EladRez,

Welcome to the MSDN Forum.

Firstly, you need to read the word text, please refer to this codeproject for more information: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/getwordtext.aspx

and then you can use regular expression to retrieve the email address: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/EmailRegexValidator.aspx

Since the samples is in C#, so this online tool translate tool should be helpful: http://www.developerfusion.com/tools/convert/csharp-to-vb/

I hope this will be helpful.

Best regards,

Why do you post a C# answer in a VB forum ?

Why do you post a C# answer in a VB forum ?

 

Make no sense.

If the C# code help you, you can close the thread, if you don't know C# code, and you cannot translate it to VB.net code, so just post the code you don't understand.

We focus on your issue, rather than the programming language.

Try this in the Regex forum, finding a Email address is seldom done with VB code as this is typical a Regex problem. Regex can be used in VB.
