Mask email left part of domain

This function masks what comes between the @ character and the dot in e-mail adresses. Two methods are available: By character and From a list of values.

This function only applies on Strings.

Option Description
Method When using the By character method, this function masks what comes between the @ character and the dot with a character.

When using the From a list of values method, this function masks what comes between the @ character and the dot with one of the values from the specified list.

Extra parameter This function requires an extra parameter.

When using the By character method, the extra parameter must be a character. If you specify an invalid extra parameter, like a string, a list, multiple characters or a digit, all characters between the @ character and the dot will be masked with X characters by default.

When using the From a list of values, the extra parameter can be a comma-separated list of domains or a path to a file containing a list of domains. If you do not specify an extra parameter, all characters between the @ character and the dot are removed.

In the following example, all characters between the @ character and the dot are masked with one of the values from the user-defined list.
