Extract Mentions

Pull every mention such as a username out of a text and get the list back one per line, with email addresses left out unless you want them. Skips email addresses.

Extracting mentions collects the at-sign handles from a text. Because an email address also contains an at-sign, the tool normally skips anything that sits inside a word, and reports how many it skipped.

Why are some at-signs skipped?

                    
They are part of an email address, so they are reported as skipped rather than listed as handles.

                

                            

                    
Which characters are allowed in a handle?

                    
Letters, digits, an underscore, a full stop, and a hyphen, which covers most platforms.

                

                            

                    
Can I get the handles without the at-sign?

                    
Not in this tool, so the list can be pasted straight back into a post.
