mail-extraction-tool

Tool to scrap emails from a list of websites. Takes the list of websites as a parameter, in format TSV (tab separated values) e.g.:

WEBUID        WEBSITE        URL

abc123        Website 1        http://websitename1.url

azk988        Website 2        http://websitename2.url

gju386        Website N        http://websitenameN.url

Usage example: ./extract_mail_from_url.sh list_of_websites_and_urls_in_tbs_format.tbs.

The tool downloads the website using wget and then searches for different email addresses formats with regular expressions:

• text@text.domain [a-z0-9.-]@[a-z0-9.-].[a-z]
• text (at) text.domain [a-z0-9.-] (at) [a-z0-9.-].[a-z]
• text(at)text.domain [a-z0-9.-](at)[a-z0-9.-].[a-z]
• text[at]text[dot]domain [a-z0-9.-][at][a-z0-9.-][dot][a-z]
• text[ät]text.domain [a-z0-9.-][ät][a-z0-9.-].[a-z]
• text [at] text.domain [a-z0-9.-][at][a-z0-9.-].[a-z]
• text [at] text [punkt] domain [a-z0-9.-][at][a-z0-9.-][punkt][a-z]
• text(at)text(dot)domain [a-z0-9.-](at)[a-z0-9.-](dot)[a-z]
• text at text.domain [a-z0-9.-] at [a-z0-9.-].[a-z]
• text [at] text [dot] domain [a-z0-9.-] [at] [a-z0-9.-] [dot] [a-z]
