Google Script to format information pulled through script - google-apps-script

Question

the following script below will read my email and pull a value from an email as well as the recipient of the message. I'm looking to add to the code in which I just get the email address for the recipient.
Currently, the code will process: John Doe *** john.doe#gmail.com ****
- I just want the code to pull john.doe#gmail.com, without the arrow bracket symbols
Any insight on where to add this is greatly appreciated!

Regarding your last error message:
var LABEL_PENDING = "example label/PENDING";
var LABEL_DONE = "example label/DONE";
script will search labels with the name: "example label/PENDING" and "example label/DONE". Are you sure that you have the label with name "example label/PENDING" or "example label/DONE"?
Here is a little bit modified code based on your example. You just need to create label "PENDING" and mark some messages with this label.
var LABEL_PENDING = "PENDING";
function processPending () {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getActiveSheet();
// Date format
var d = new Date();
var date = d.toLocaleDateString();
// Get out labels by name
var label_pending = GmailApp.getUserLabelByName(LABEL_PENDING);
// The threads currently assigned to the 'pending' label
var threads = label_pending.getThreads();
// Process each one in turn, assuming there's only a single
// message in each thread
for (var i = 0; i <threads.length; i++) {
var thread = threads[i];
// Gets the recipient
var recipient = thread.getMessages()[0].getTo();
// Add recipient to sheet
sheet.appendRow([recipient]);
}
}
