Searching for Email Format and Domain

[Calvin 19]

Hello, I am new to C++ and programming in general. I was wondering if it is possible to use C++ to search for company email formats and domain addresses?

For example, finding the correct format like:

[e-mail]
or
[e-mail]
or
[e-mail]


Also, if it is possible to find the actual email domain, such as:

@carnival.com
or
@carnivalcruises.com
or
@carnivalcorp.com


I was told by my professor that this is a simple task that could be accomplished using a search function but I wanted to get additional feedback if this is possible or not?


Thanks,

Cal

Are you asking if C++ will allow you to find emails existing within a list of emails?

What exactly are you searching?

[Calvin 19]

Not an existing list but search the internet

you want to search the whole internet for one uri type (or am i sleepy and stupid and an email is not a uri)? not feasable, but certainly doable. its quite easy to program. you just write a program to parse the html and if it finds a new website, add it to the list of sites to parse. meanwhile while its doing that, if it finds the email format, notify you in some way

Yes, well I have a list of 4000 websites already. I just need the email formats for each one. So you're saying that it is possible?

When you say not feasible but doable what do you mean?
