how to find emails addresses into string
like :
string = "first@etc.com, second@etc.com"
string= "first@etc.com"
string = "second@etc.com"

the commas between addresses could be olso , colon , space or what ever,
I need to find addresses , do not look what is between of them, because 
the point is that I need find addresses and replace the sign between of 
them on commas, because maybe somebody put in some different sing like 
space or, point , colon ...etc.

thanks

irb(main):012:0> "j@m.com; d@i.c,f@f.n".split(/[ ;,]/).select{|x|
x!=""}
=> ["j@m.com", "d@i.c", "f@f.n"]

Something like that? Just add / remove the delimiters you want to
support.

Alternatively use #scan - this might be more general and safer:

 >> "j@m.com; d@i.c,f@f.n".scan /[a-z_-]+@[a-z_.-]+/i
=> ["j@m.com", "d@i.c", "f@f.n"]

Kind regards

the result of this "j@m.com; d@i.c,f@f.n".scan /[a-z_-]+@[a-z_.-]+/i
is => ["j@m.comd@i.cf@f.n"]  ??? should not be commas between ?
