^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\.[a-zA-Z.]{2,5}$

So, to remove prefixes of emails, try searching:
([^\s]*)@
then replacing with:
@

I have a few (but only a few) times had success. It says to “Use regular expression.” What does that mean? What is an “irregular expression?” I have tried with the box checked and unchecked. Usually with the box checked it will not Find my string. I uncheck the box and it usually does. I am posting an example on the above website. From the DW source code I literally copy the line of code: Joh. Heinrich Schöm (1713-1785) 1. and paste it into the Find box of F&R. I then put my cursor above the line and it does not Find it, giving me the “Done. Not found in current document.” response. I uncheck the “Use regular expression” box and it will find it as long as there is no wildcard. It finds it in all four (identical) examples. THEN, I try using a wildcard (with the box checked), Finding: ([^<]*) or [^”]* and it will find the misc. lines, e.g. where the text is “Case #1”, but not the lines of interest, with Heinrich’s name. With the box unchecked it Finds nothing. Really would appreciate help. Thanks. This is fantastic stuff and will really help me, if I can figure out how to use it.
