I have URL's that contain email addresses that I would like to extract via rex into an email field:

SAMPLE RAW:

macplatform.wondershare.com/interface.php?m=co&client_sign={CD1AABB2-586E-55A5-A891-877563550973}&product_id=735&version=10.3.2&email=Christopher.Nobody@somedomain.com&lang=en_us&type=0&cc=92445606E83D64D283AD3A5EF2A9869E&interface_version=1.1

You may want to add other characters like - and _ to the regex. This is primitive and just catching the word and . characters on either side of the @ and assumes your url is delimited with other special chars like = from your examples

Are you asking for the community to write the regex for you? I'm not sure exactly what your question is. What have you tried so far?

Yes I am new to splunk and I'm not sure how to write this regex...I tried extracting a new field with the tool, but it didn't always work.
