Question

The question is not only about identifying email address from a string. It is about replacing the found email address with the company email address.

For eg. if i have a string as below:

“Hi, My name is John Martin. I am a painter and sculptor. If you wish to purchase my paintings please look at my portfolio on the site and then contact me on [e-mail]“

I would like to replace the above string with

“Hi, My name is John Martin. I am a painter and sculptor. If you wish to purchase my paintings please look at my portfolio on the site and then contact me on [e-mail]“
