Email address parse, RegEx?

StephenMoss
5 - Atom

Hi 

 

I need some help parsing a list of email addresses. They are in two formats: 

 

monica.geller@aaa.com

chandler.m.bing@aaa.com

 

What I require is a separate first name and second name column and discarding the middle initial i.e:

 

First              Second

Monica         Geller

Chandler      Bing

 

Thanks for your help in advance!

Hi @rohit782192 what's your desired output for "someone1234@gmail.com"? A first name and a last name? What would that be here?

 

How many cases do you have? Very often a solution that works for "someone1234@gmail.com" will not work for another email address, so it's very helpful to know exactly what output you require and to have a sample of data that you want to process. If you provide this I am convinced we can find regex that will work for you.

 

All the best,

Philip
