David Scheele proposed the following answer:
In what way "extract"?
If you can get the text highlighted (by clicking on if with sikuli or by tabbing into it it usually gets highlighted) you can just use the following:

type("c", KeyModifiers.CTRL)

to copy the highlighted text and

Env.getClipboard()

to do something with it.

For example:

type(Key.TAB + Key.TAB + Key.TAB)      #selects the text field
paste(examplemailvar)      #pastes a text into the field
type(Key.TAB + Key.TAB + Key.TAB)      #selects the text field again, highlighting the text
type("c", KeyModifier.CTRL)      #copies the highlighted text to clipboard
assert (Env.getClipboard() == examplemailvar), "E-Mail was not set"      #compares the text to the one set before
