Oh thank that you guys told us. We totally forgot. I was wondering if we should write our emails on this post too, or it's just enough to update our profiles with our email address? I already put my email on my profile, but just in case, my email is gabrielsarmiento@gmail.com or gabriel.sarmiento@emprecol.com from Bogota, Colombia, South America.

That makes so much sense. I thought you might be pulling the e-mails out of the applications manually, and having coded and used a system for processing submissions (to an online fiction magazine), I was wondering how the hell you could stand to do that for 500+ applications. Glad to hear you're keeping yourself sane ;-)

echo "jd; John Doe; 99; None; john.doe@whoknows.com; ; ." | cut -d ";" -f 5 ...so if someone makes mistakes it is automatically out :-) Guess the way they chose is the best though.

If they do that, then they should specify how to escape literal semicolons so that Robert'); DROP TABLE students;-- doesn't file a discrimination lawsuit.

Or, if they're in a forgiving mood, this will produce one e-mail address per line, regardless of delimited position, (assuming the founders were already on separate lines):

 | sed -E 's/^.*[^[:alnum:]\._\-]([[:alnum:]\._\-]+@[[:alnum:]][[:alnum:]\-]+\.[[:alnum:]][[:alnum:]\-\.]*)[^[:alnum:]\-\.].*$/\1/' 
 | grep -E '^[[:alnum:]\._\-]+@[[:alnum:]][[:alnum:]\-]+\.[[:alnum:]][[:alnum:]\-\.]*$'
