Yahoo Email address extractor tutorial.
How to do it yourself with Mozilla Thunderbird.

1. Download and install Mozilla Thunderbird.
2. Under accounts, incoming mail server, type in imap.mail.yahoo.com
3. Do a send and receive.
4. Get the Add-on called Email Address Crawler.
5. Right click on a folder such as Inbox, and do a Crawl for Addresses.
6. View them in Address Book -> Collected addresses.
7. The file with them is history.mab, located under Application data.
8. Use my Perl scripts below (a series of three of them) to get rid of
the unwanted characters.
9. Brag to your friends you did it!

The following are
Perl scripts to whittle down the Collected Addresses 
raw file "History.mab" to just the email addresses.

There are three steps, (three Perl scripts to execute.)


I copied "History.mab" to a file called
"thun-email-list.txt"
After running the first Perl script, there
will be about about 9 extra characters on each line,
such as (DE=8080)

Next, I created a Perl file from Notepad and named it "findperl.pl"
Then I ran it by typing
findperl.pl > thun-email2b.txt

This is findperl.pl

(First is an image (with the bright white background; 
for text to highlight,copy & paste,
see below it, in the grey-blue background. Then fill in the missing 
file name, etc.).

(Note: it differs somewhat from the following, as HTML is mis-reading
the lines and omitting them from view.)
(Highlight,copy & paste this. Then fill in the missing 
file name, etc.)


open(MYINPUTFILE, ") {
 # Good practice to store $_ value because 
# subsequent operations may change it. 
my($line) = $_; 
# Good practice to always strip the trailing newline from the line. 
chomp($line); 
# Convert the line to upper case. 
# $line =~ tr/[a-z]/[A-Z]/;
# Print the line to the screen and add a newline print "$line\n"; }
 
# print $line;
 my @values = split(' ', $line);
  foreach my $val (@values) {
   # print "$val\n";
   if($val =~ m/(@)/i)  {print "$val\n"};
  }
  # exit 0;
}

Next, I copied "findperl.pl"
to 
"findperl2.pl"
and edited three lines of it:

}
close(DAT);

To recap, what we've just done is

Use Active Perl to:

get rid of occurences of the extra character:  =

and then to 

get rid of occurences of the extra character: (

Now, we're DONE!
Here are your email addresses!

The email addresses are now all in the file called "thun2d.txt"

Next topic: We're discussing sysprep for Windows XP, sysprep for Windows 7, Windows PE, how to make a USB thumb drive bootable, and a VMWare tutorial.

July 9, 2011 by Vincent Pinegar - Leave a comment

USB bootable drive preparation:
Here's the important part of creating a bootable USB keychain / thumb / key/ drive/ memory stick:
You gotta run Diskpart from the command prompt and execute these commands:

list vol
list disk
sel disk 1
list part
clean
cre part primary
active
assign letter S
format quick fs=NTFS label=WindowsPE
exit

You can save this all to a file such as script1.txt and then run this:
Diskpart /s scripts1.txt

I have included commands such as list vol to enumerate volumes
list disk to enumerate disks
list part to enumerate partitions.

Make sure you now which disk you're dealing with!
If you mess up and destroy Drive C, a.k.a.m vol C, you'll be mad at yourself!
Usually drive C is on Disk 0.
Next you gotta copy all the WIndows PE files and directories over:
Bootmgr
\Sources\boot.wim
\EFI
\Boot
