Challenge #211: Generating Email Addresses

[AYXAcademy]

A solution to last week’s challenge can be found here. Source: GIPHY

This challenge comes to us from @ramesh_neel - thank you for your contribution!

The input file has names of users connected by commas in a single field with random numbers to each name . Some of the names start with a lower case and some have middle name to them. [ names generated using a random name generator website ]

Create a set of email IDs (using @testemail.com as the domain) using a combination of first letter of the first name + last name of the user [even if they have a middle name ] and grouped into A-Z categories. Provide a count of the number of emails in each group.

Hint - In your output exclude any users without a valid name ( i.e, does not contain a number)

Like we've seen many, many, many times before, RegEx is king. It's absurd how handy regular expressions are for these types of problems.

Regex is the answer. The question is pretty much irrelevant.

It is very fun 🙂 It will be more fun if we have more than duplicate mail id.
