Answer 1

THe substring functions have starting position parameter. So you find the first occurrence,and start the next search (in your loop) at the occurrence position + occurenceLength. You'd need to write a function that returns the values either as a delimited string or table. Use the @-sign to find your way into the email address, and then scan backwards and forwards until you reach white space or a character that's invalid in an email address (or the start-pos or the beginning or the last char).
