Files Email Extractor

It is sometimes necessary to grab large numbers of e-mail addresses from files stored locally, and extracting them one by one is far from the ideal solution.

Files Email Extractor can help you out in this scenario, as it makes it easy to obtain these addresses from multiple types of files, and it also allows you to filter them. It offers a rather limited feature set, but it is relatively easy to use.

Adding files to the processing queue is very straightforward, although it would have been better if drag and drop actions were supported. You can load individual items or import every file from a certain folder at once.

The application offers support for a wide range of file formats, including TXT, PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS and XLSX. However, although this is not mentioned on the product’s website, it seems Microsoft Office is required in order to process Word, Excel and PowerPoint files.

Before launching the operation, you can specify if all e-mails should be extracted or just unique ones. It is also possible to remove duplicate items later on.

You have the option of applying a simple filter in order to remove unnecessary addresses. The application allows you to define which terms the e-mails should or should not contain, but more complex filtering options are not available.

The user interface is not particularly noteworthy, although its layout is simple enough. However, its visual design does seem to be a bit out of date.

Unfortunately, the program does not offer any documentation, something first-time users would certainly have found very helpful.

Overall, Files Email Extractor is a straightforward utility that can help you grab e-mail addresses from a broad range of file types, with very little effort. It offers a limited array of features, however, and no documentation.
