Split Email directive

The SPLIT-EMAIL directive splits an email ID into an account and its domain.

Syntax

split-email :column

The column is a column containing an email address.

Usage Notes

The SPLIT-EMAIL directive will parse email address into its constituent parts: account and domain.

After splitting the email address, the directive will create two new columns, appending to the original column name:

column_account
column_domain

If the email address cannot be parsed correctly, the additional columns will still be generated, but they would be set to null depending on the parts that could not be parsed.
