[email protected] becomes LAST, FIRST

Question

How to convert emails in the form - [email protected] to full name in the form LAST, FIRST

Answer 1

Leticia,

Here is one approach that solves your problem regarding string manipulation:

def formatEmail(email):

#remove characters after the @ sign (inclusive)

fullName, sep, tail = email.partition('@')

#capitalize and split first and last name into a list

fullName = fullName.upper().split('.')

#return specified format

return fullName[1] + ', ' + fullName[0]

Please do not hesitate to ask for further explanation!

Answer 2

def parseEmail(email):

tokens = email.split("@")

nameTokens = tokens[0].split(".")

strReturn = nameTokens[1] + "," + nameTokens[0]

return(strReturn)

email = "[email protected]"

nameReturn = parseEmail(email)

print(str(nameReturn))
