How to write a search to extract and only display email addresses from XML events?

Each event found in my search, is always similar to the example below, but with a different email address found within the square brackets [email@myemaildomain].

    <EMAIL><![CDATA[email@myemaildomain]]></EMAIL>
    <BODY_TYPE>HTML</BODY_TYPE>
    <PERSONALIZATION>

I am trying to understand and find a way to extract just the email address from the many events. My goal is to create an hourly alert and have it email me a text file with just those email addresses. The email alert I can do, but I am struggling to get the filtering of just the email address in the event.

Try the following:

| your search here
| spath input=yourinputfield
| table EMAIL

For example:

| stats count
| eval event = "<EMAIL><![CDATA[email@myemaildomain]]></EMAIL>
     <BODY_TYPE>HTML</BODY_TYPE>
     <PERSONALIZATION>"
| spath input=event
| table EMAIL

Output:

EMAIL
email@myemaildomain
