[ome-users] Extracting email addresses.

[Josh Moore]

Hi Ian,

typically we have used a DB query to extract this information, but this is not the most user-friendly option. I've put together an email_report command-line plugin which we'll look into including in future releases (possibly with a different name). Drop the attached file into the directory:

 OMERO_DIST/lib/python/omero/plugins

and then run:

 bin/omero email_report

The standard out will contain a comma-separated list of email addresses. Several other things will be printed on standard error but these can be ignored. There are also several command-line options which you can see via:

$ bin/omero email_report --help
usage: bin/omero email_report [-h] [-n] [-1] [-i]

Lists users' email addresses

Optional Arguments:
  In addition to any higher level options

  -h, --help          show this help message and exit
  -n, --names         Print user names along with email addresses
  -1, --one           Print one user per line
  -i, --ignore        Ignore users without email addresses


Let us know where this falls short, and we'll improve it along the way.

Best wishes,
~Josh
