title: Find Email Address in a string - ColdFusion 9
body: <p>I was wondering if coldfusion has a build-in function to find email addresses in a string. </p>
  
  <p>I am trying to read through a query output ex. "John Smith jsmith@example.com" and get out only the email. </p>
  
  <p>I did something like this in the past where I was counting the spaces of the string and after the second string i was wiping out all the characters on the left which it was keeping the email address alone. </p>
  
  <p>Though this can work in my situation, it is not safe and almost guarantee bugs and misuse of data that may come in in a different format such as "John jsmith@example.com" which in this case I will wipe away all the information.</p>
