I'm trying to trim email addresses after the @ and before the . So for example if your email is [email protected]. I just want to return "domo." I'm using the formula tile in Magic ETL.

    Using the Replace Text tile, do the following:

    The 2nd one is a bit hard to read in the screenshot, it is: \ . . *

    Be sure to check "use regex" for both as shown below:

    Using a formula tile you can use a regexp_replace function to extract just the domain:

    REGEXP_REPLACE(`email`, '^[^@]+@([^\.]+)\..*$', '$1')

    ^ - match the beginning of the string
    [^@]+ - Match 1 or more (+) of characters that are NOT (^) the @ symbol.
    @ - match the literal @ symbol
    [^\.]+
    () - Store this for later reference in a match variable. Since this is the first instance it's stored in $1
    [^\.]+ - Match 1 or more (+) of characters that are NOT (^) the . symbol. \ is to escape the . character as it has special meaning in regular expressions of any character.
    \. - match the literal . character
    .* - match 0 or more (*) of any character (.)
    $ - match the end of the string
    $1 - Where the value between the parenthesis are stored.
