How do I export addresses of members of a Google Groups group that I am a member of?
The manager did not limit the possibility of viewing the list of members, And I can see the list at:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!members/GROUPNAME
but there was no possibility of exporting!
This is how it looks.
Only when you click on the broken address,
This shows the address in full.
Is there any way to export the list anyway?
You can take screenshots and use an OCR application to extract the text.
For example: use a screenshot tool like Greenshot or SnagIt or the Windows Snipping Tool.
Save images of the user list, preferably in a lossless format like BMP. Use an OCR-capable tool such as Acrobat (not Reader) to grab the text out of the images (make pdf, Scan & OCR, Recognize Text)
Copy the text into the application of your choice (e.g. Excel) via the clipboard. Manually correct OCR errors in the list.
The Google Groups' members email export feature is only available for group owners and administrators not for members.
I never tried to use web-scrapping techniques to get email form a Google Group members page but Google recently announced that they changed Google Groups settings in order to improve the privacy and security of them. Considering this I think that it will be harder than before for regular members to get the email addresses of the other members of the group.
The easier solution is to ask the group owner/administrator to export the email address for you.
