var rcpt = 'coder<[email protected]>';
var addy = rcpt.match(/<([^>]*)>/)[1];
// addy = '[email protected]'

Escaping
< and > is not necessary: /<([^>]*)>/ or equivalently /<(.*?)>/ or even /<(.*)>/ if we assume that this is the complete string and it contains only valid email adresses.

i actually looked for a solution like say rcpt.replace(regex) okey still this yeilds result i'm happy

@Felix: ah yes, thanks. There's several regex dialects where it is necessary, and none where escaped
\< or \> mess up the regex, so I routinely escape them anyway. I’ve edited the post to remove them.Martijn
@Harish: you can easily use a similar regular expression with the replace function:
addy = rcpt.replace(/^.*<([^>]*)>.*$/, '$1');str.split("<")[1].split(">")[0];

Do you know http://regexlib.com/ ?
It's a site full of regex with a regex coach to try your regex.
Also you can replace manually like this:
str.remove( string.indexOf('<'), 0 )
str.remove( 0, string.indexOf('>') )
or something equals...

That will yield '[email protected]', which probably isn't what the OP wants.
try str.replace
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write(str.replace("coder<[email protected]>
", "[email protected]"));
</script>
