I'm trying to remove certain parts of an email using regex in python
For instance john@gmail can also create john 1@gmail john [email protected] john [email protected] and so on..
I would like remove the 1, sometext, som_et.ext so I'm always left [email protected]
If I use ([ ])\w (https://regexr.com/6t7ls) this fails if the email is something like john [email protected]
I'm also not totally sure how to convert this to python I have tried the following which does not work
REMOVE_PLUS_ADDRESSES = re.compile('([ ])\w /g')
m = REMOVE_PLUS_ADDRESSES.match('asdfasd [email protected]')
CodePudding user response：
You can use
re.sub(r'\ [^\s@]*(?=@)', '', text)
See the regex demo.
Details:
\- the[^\s@]*- zero or more chars other than whitespace and@(?=@)- a location immediately before a@char.
