Hi, 

the legacy table contains a single Email column that may contain 2 emails separated with a whitespace. 

The target table contains two Email fields : Email1 and Email2. 

 

I need to put the second email into the Email2 field. 

I cannot figure out how to do that. Can you help me? 

thank you

Paola

Hi @CiaoPaola 

 

You can use Text To Columns tool.

Set to "Split to columns"

Delimiters : you can input space or "\s".

Hi Akim, cool solution indeed!

Hi @CiaoPaola 

 

If you have only one email at Email field, that workflow will work well.

Hi Akim,

yes I have other typing mistakes such as: 

sample sample@email.com

sample@email. com

sample@ email.com

 

so before splitting the columns in 2 columns, I need to fix these typing mistakes first, don't I ? 

thank you

Hi @CiaoPaola 

 

I added the your sample and then I change the workflow.

If the 2 emails row contain miss type, the workflow will not work well.

But it is work well at your sample.

 

Workflow

I split the contain 2 email or not and then I replace space on the data stream that not contain 2 email.

After that, I union 2 data stream and split the space.
