Output:   [email protected], [email protected], [email protected],[email protected]

Answer 1

If >;(?*)< is the Regex you tried, then the question mark is probably wrong. It has no special meaning. Try using >;(.*)< instead and see if thats what you wanted.

Answer 2

you should go another way. Instead of filtering the decoration you should write a regex, that matches only email addresses. Get the result as an array and join it with ", "

To find valid emails there are plenty of expressions out there. More ore less accurate. http://regexlib.com/Search.aspx?k=email
