Default need to extract email addresses from excel files

Hey there. I have many Excel files which each have four columns of data (A, B, C, and D) and tens of thousands of rows. I need any email addresses present in column D extracted to column E. What's the best solution here? The text surrounding the emails is always different (ie the emails are not surrounded by <> or any other kind of constant characters that can simplify this).

I've tried DigDB but it seems to have a run-time error 6 and/or 1004 issue no matter what I do. DigDB also misses more than a few emails that I can see in plan view. I've tried a couple other programs but they save the emails in a separate document, and I need the emails saved in the original file alongside the data it was extracted from, so that's no help to me.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
